Very nice job, do you have a slide out? If you do, does it cause issues when you pull it in. I ask because we have very slight marks on our existing carpet where the slide out rolls in/out.
Yes I have both kinds of slides in the area of the floor. The slide that floats over the floor and is raised there are no issues. The flush or flat floor slide is a whole different story, one of the reasons I picked this floor was how thin it is (but is very sturdy). My carpet was always compressed. I made adjustments on the slide and actually found a corner of the slide floor had come loose. I installed the matching t-molding at the two inch piece of carpet I left for where the floor meets under the slide. The slide now rides over that and about two thirds ways in tilts forward, which would cause the sled to ride along the floor. To prevent any damage I took five pieces of the flooring and I lay them down parallel evenly space down the slide so it rides on them. Once the slide is totally in I could actually remove them if I wanted to, but would have to place them back down to run the slide out. The slide doesn't damage the slide runners (planks) but I just don't want to take a chance on the floor. I'm sure a professional could adjust the slide so it wouldn't touch at all, something I might look into. Right now the slide has never worked better with the adjustment I made, climbs right up the hill with good power.
