We have a few boxes of TEAK hardwood floor that we could use. I am worried about weight with this option... it is nearly 250lbs for the floor if we use the teak hardwood.
The other option is commercial grade linoleum tiles... I like the black and white checkered look... this costs more (as the teak is FREE) but it weights less!
Open to suggestions!
Suggestion it is, then.
When we were deciding on flooring for our Little Guy 5-Wide, I heard several folks recommending against tiles or planks, which can separate from the flexing that a trailer does. Also, don't adhere the flooring directly to the plywood sub floor, as it needs to move with the flexing trailer. The prevalent recommendation was to use a floating single sheet, which would not separate or bubble from flexing.
We went with a piece of remnant vinyl sheet flooring from Home Depot -- $20, with foam underlayment underneath.
