Question on replacing vinyl sheet flooring
Looks like a combination of old age and this Winter's severe temperature was too much for the vinyl flooring in my fiver - it ripped/cracked from one side to the other. Must have shrunk first as 1/4"...

I used the snap lock version of Allure in our camper a few years back. This product is a floating flooring design and will expand and contract in changing temperatures.
I was amazed just how much it shrank when I went inside the camper the first winter after it was installed. Although I understood it was a floating floor and installed it as such the best I could, it still pulled loose between a few end joints in some areas. Come summertime, in the warmer weather, these gaps come close to closing back up.
My problem was being able to maintain the "floating" aspect of the installation in a few key areas, these mainly being under the toilet and under the pedestals of the dinning table.
