Still trying to move ahead and finish up Phase 3 http://ift.tt/1EuUQDk We went ahead and ordered 96 sq feet of a loose lay vinyl plank product from Shaw called 5th and Main Atlantic Station in a wood color that should match the cherry cabinets fairly well. It's not cheap, about 4 bucks a foot or almost 400 for a bit less than 100 sq ft. but I'm hoping it works well in the RV environment. It is considered a commercial product with a very thick wear layer. I wasn't familiar with loose lay, but it essentially just lays on the floor and does not move once it's down. And it feels very solid, none of that hollow, clacking sound you get from other floating floors.
It has no interlocking edges, every thing is square cut with a very slight bevel. You can glue it down throughout or just the edges, My plan is to do just the edges with everything else just sitting. It's really amazing how once a piece is sitting on the floor that no matter how much you push on it, it wont move or slide. The adhesive is a specialized spray can type that you coat the edge planks to lock it in place, though I'm not sure its absolutely necessary but I'm doing it for peace of mind. I'm hoping this will alleviate the issue with the shrinkage on the ends from the changes in temperature. This is what it looks like from the company website:
I had to remove all the previous parquet wood floor which left the existing subfloor fairly ugly and less than smooth. I've patched and sealed it up and have cut 4 sheets of 1/8th inch ply to go on top to provide a smooth surface for the tile. Those will be glued down and stapled to the subfloor and then the tiles will be laid once I get the painting done.
