Hello all,

still working on sorting the vandalism/break in damage...need some advice on potential flooring options as the carpet is knackered in the back.

Want to go for something "easy clean" as we have two kids under 5 and also want to go for fairly cheap and easy to install if possible...

Any thoughts please?

Cheers!

we just picked up a vinyl flooring remenant from carpet right for ours £15
we need wipe clean for the usually muddy hound

A sheet of 8mm or 18mm MFC in the fake wood effect of your choice. Available from kitchen companys, of the likes of B&Q. Cheap, fairly hard wearing and if it's cold on your feet, put a rug on it. Mine at the moment has a sheet of what looks like 18mm chipboard with carpet on top, but when that dies it'll be 18mm MFC for me. I mentioned the 8mm board just in case it has to go under the edges of units etc.

Ive got jus normal lino stylie flooring. Found a carpet in the back of a defender 110 and cut it to shape. Easy to remove an wash/beat wit tennis racket An if it gets really cold,or have company i unroll the ole sheepskin rug

We have a green astro-turf stylee door mat for our 2 urchins to wipe their feet on outside the bus and a £20 offcut of faux beech lino/vinyl for the floor covering itself.

We had carpets at first

I've got this, wipe clean for spills / mud and burn resistant in case of spilling cooking oil, cigs etc...

Looks nice plurker, pricey? Is there a different roll size, surely you didn't buy 20 odd metres of it?

no, you can buy by the metre. the roll was 2m wide, and i got i tihnk 3 m length, so 6sq m.
i paid iirc £20 for enough to do the whole floor and some bits up the sides of seats etc. The cost was the delivery - think that was about £30, more than the stuff anyway! if you could pick it up that's be good. It's just much harder wearing than lino, and imho it looks nicer than laminate floor.

i have that in my bathroom

I still have the original flotex stylee carpet in my van and works fine for me and I have a mucky mup of a son

i looked at flotex for ours, you seen the price of that stuff nowdays

Thanks for the thoughts folks...will have allok on a few websites and see what's what...

Eh up!

I use vinyl carpet protector over a carpeted floor, works great, cheap and remove it in summer/no-mud conditions. Bought 2 rolls, extra bits goes between front seats then no worries moving around van

Myk.

I've got a speckled look vinyl over 8mm plywood base. Very solid and hard wearing. Carried a wood burning stove from S of F and it didn't even leave a dent in the floor....mind you, we had to use the stove top as our table for 3 weeks...can't resist a bargain
