[pure-silver] Re: new darkroom floor

Hello,
If I could just chime in. I quite agree about the sheet vinyl product for all the reasons mentioned below. I redid my floor between the cabinets, sink etc. , in my walking area, you want something that kisses your feet, especially after 8-10 hours of printing. So definitely get cushioned vinyl. Your local generic home renovation barn will have what you need. See for yourself. I also went with a light gray colour so I could see anything dropped on the floor with only the safelights on. At my enlarger and dry section, I sit in an old oak swivel chair so there is uncushioned vinyl so that the chair can roll easily. Whereas I stand in my wet section, where my sink is, so here I put down two layers of the thickest cushioned vinyl I could find. My feet thank me ;) 

Cheers,
Bogdan

I agree with Bob, I think a sheet vinyl product will be more resilient and easier to clean, and handle the traffic of wheeled stools (if you use one) or shoes better.

    Shannon,
    I'd go with a sheet vinyl type product.
    You won't have to worry about refinishing it in a couple years;
    and it won't leak. You can get cushioning sheets underneath some;
    and some are rather cushioned themselves. That can make working
    for long times much, much nicer.

    Subject: [pure-silver] new darkroom floor

    So my question is about how to finish the wood floor.  The two
    options
    I'm considering are:  (1) 2 coats of polyurethane, sanded; or (2)
    some
    kind of vinyl floor.

    Which do you think would be preferable? Or is either one ok?
