Flooring advice please!

Post by Titan »

I have read through all the flooring posts I can find on the forum, and have decided to replace the horrible stained carpet in our Van to altro lino flooring. My dilemma is how far down the van to use the lino? Do I just put lino in the living area, and have carpet in the cab, or should I put lino all the way into the cab also. The current carpet covers the entire floor. I would like the whole floor to be easy to clean so am swaying towards lino throughout, with a mat in each footwell, but will they hold in place? Are there any implications of putting it in the cab that I haven't thought of? What has everyone else done? I'm hoping to put some insulation under the floor too, probably thermal roll.

I've only had the van 3 weeks, am very new to all this, and I don't want to get it wrong!

Any advice gratefully received.

I put insulated laminate flooring underlay in mine then 4mm ply and I change the flooring from laminate to vinyl tiles to carpet to Lino or whatever.

Have you put ply and lino all the way through? Or just in the living area? We've had a disaster in that the pop top roof developed a leak in the rain yesterday so we've had to rip the carpet up ahead of schedule! Need to order flooring asap but I still don't know whether lino would work in the cab of the camper.
