Soft floor ( sandwich )repairs results share your experience

Thanks for your input guys ...Ill get back to you as soon as the job is completed

Actually its pretty straightforward. If its not too late you should inquire about some insulation under the fixed portion of the floor. The only thing you may notice from the top is a seem in the vinyl flooring.

I'd bet your new floor looks as good or better than the old. Probably much sturdier, too, as the foam sandwich is the weakest link.

Wes, that "goop" is vinyl seam sealer. If done right, you can't detect a seam.

Just in case nobody is familiar with this repair, please let us know how it comes out.

We have an older 2004 camper that we bought used and the manufacturing era suffered from a batch of vinyl that shrunk, cracked and peeled up in cold weather (like in ND). Whoever repaired it must have just tacked down the old vinyl and then placed similar stick-um vinyl tiles over the top.

It looks ok, but under close inspection, it is obvious that this revamp was done. The original vinyl is pretty much laid standard over the entire camper floor (flatbed stage) before any walls, cabinets or carpet, so areas under the sink etc now remain not recovered, for instance.

In our stick home, pro kitchen vinyl installers once repaired an installation booboo with a special tube of goop. It was pretty much invisible when done and did stand up to wear. We wouldn't have known if we weren't gawking during the work.

Good luck and lets us know when you are the experienced one.
