The laminate will look nice when done, however I always found laminate to be noisy and cold. All tile and no heated floors cold and hard. I did my 2001 Diplomat with lock and click cork. Installs the same as laminate, rich looking, warm to walk on, easy to clean. I didn't remove tiles in the galley area but may replace them with porcelain tile as stronger than ceramic and not so prone to cracking and breaking from the rollers. Rollers in the lounge area are mounted to the floor and the slide rolls on top of them. Galley rollers mounted to the slide and roll on the tile, which has caused breakage. galley and bedroom with cork, quieter from road noise and so nice to walk on due to the cushiony feel and warmth. How were you able to remove tiles under the cupboards in the slide. Did you have to remove some of the cupboards?
