Who's got a wood floor?

I tried it with no underlayment the first time. It was kind of spongey. So the wife wanted me to do something else with it. So I pulled it back out and put down the 1/4" plywood. Then I glued the laminate to that. Rock solid now.

I kept the subfloor (two small pieces of wood) under the fridge/water tank cabinet to keep the height the same to match the bolt holes. I did not use any subfloor for the cabin area, instead I used two layers of soundproofing material and two layers of sound deadening foam that normally get installed under laminate flooring. I also removed that metal tab that is welded into the floor. I think it is a mounting point for a cabinet that goes there in a different edition vanagon...maybe European model

Laminate flooring / 'snap-lock' type so no glue / looks like tile / the threashold is a piece of hickory (baseball bat wood)
love it... looks great, easy to clean, is made for commercial applications and comes with a 10 yr 'mall environment' guarantee

MY WOOD is FOAM RUBBER Embarassed

I'll try to remember to snap some images..

I just installed a FOAM PARQUET flooring.. (think anti-fatigue puzzle mats)
it's printed to resemble a wood parquet floor and is VERY easy on the knees. it is a little more susceptible to damage then a hard wood floor. but I remove it and stack the pieces in a box when not taking it camping.
the door edging I made from 1/2" alum C-channel from HD/LOWES that is secured w/3 screws, easily removed when the foam flooring is out.

it wouldn't be dog friendly though. well maybe with a small dog, not my 100# mules. pieces are easily replaceable if damaged, as they just popout along the puzzled edges.

it was available @ christmas tree shops and was about $35. about the same as the pergo knock off I put in mom's van.

for the typical 1000 times a weekend I kneel on the floor to get somthing w/o removing my shoes it's great..

I put in a vinyl wood look alike floor. It comes in strips of 3X30 inches. Just cut to length pull off backing, & sick it down. It's been in there all season and has had everything spilled on it, no problems. Just wipe it up, and clean w/ a damp cloth. Very Happy

Being that my current profession is actually hard wood floors, and for the sake of being nitpicky, I would mention that if you installed Pergo (or any other "laminate" flooring), you actually DON'T have wood. You have a photo of wood impregnated into a layer of very hard plastic (formica) and glued to a particle board backing. Although the particle board backing is largely made of cellulose/wood particles, I'd be hard pressed (pardon the pun) to call it wood. Nice looking photo of wood on the floor of your van, though... Razz

Those are wood. Wink

Pardon the poor photography/JPEG condensation. Embarassed
