[VAC] Re: corkfloors pros cons?

[Charcigar <stogie@xxxxxxx>]

 After much debate,I decided to lay cork in my '67 Safari.I elected to go
with it for several reasons.....light weight,durability,moisture
repellant,warmth etc.and something I could install myself.I just put it down
this past Monday and couldn't be happier with the result.I have never laid
any type of flooring before,so was somewhat nervous about botching
it.....but I found it to be quite simple and am super pleased with the
result.

 I also decided to lay the unfinished cork and applied the urethane
myself(rather than the pre-finished tiles one can also buy)...this way,I get
a completely sealed floor.I also chose the planks(about 4" wide by 24"
long)with a micro-beveled edge....cost a little bit more,but worth
it,especially given length-look of our trailers.(i.e.,not a square shape).

 I am in Canada and located a great source for the product....let me know if
you need it.....but odds are you are in the US,and someone else will be able
to provide you with a supplier there.

P.S. Will have some photos of it available on Monday.Let me know if you
would like to view them.
