New Flooring

For those that have replaced the carpet with thinner or thicker materials was there a slide adjustment necessary after words? The previous owner replaced the carpet in my Class A with engineered wood but in the 3 years I have owned it, it has lots of scratches from the rollers and I want to replace it again with something thinner like Pergo or a look alike vinyl.

engineered wood, adhered with urethane adhesive is the way to go. doesn't shrink, expand, seams don't break apart. It just stays put

Well Gang,
I've watched numerous threads on re-flooring over the years and, we're just not decided on which way to go yet. Ours is half carpet and half ceramic tile from the factory on our '04 Horizon 36GD. I've been thinking about a material that we used when we re-did the boat floor. It's called Infinity luxury Vinyl flooring. This stuff is phenomenal. It's made in several surface types, colors and looks. Part of the RV industry is actually going to this flooring.
The surface is ultra strong and durable and, it's laminated with either 1/8" or 3/16" urethane foam backing. Anyway, this is just one other option.

Not using the grip strip type Allure, although it was recommended by someone here that's done dozens of RV floors. I guess the particular color we wanted doesn't come in grip strip at HoD. It's cheap enough to replace if it doesn't work out and it's floating so not a huge job. I'll be laying down some rosin paper under it.

You're correct it comes up easy. You'll find out in one season how easy it is to rip up.

ROTFLMAO

I used Adura LVT. Glued down. Looks great.

Interesting post. I installed Allure in one of our house bathrooms and love it. I did notice the where not to use warnings and wondered if it was really that critical. I thought I had read here how well it worked.

I'll be watching this one.

Allure sucks! Used it in my house. It shrinks and the seams open up. Took it to the dump in less than a year.

I just did my RV in Pergo.

I have done hundreds of rv floors and never will use allure - its a **** shoot and I don't like the odds.
