[VACList] Re: Pergo in Airstreams



Is Pergo still made of particle board?  If it isn't
sealed all around, it can soak up water pretty quickly
from the bottom or edges.  Now, I'm not saying YOUR
Airstream leaks, but if it ever did, would the Pergo
survive?  

If you have a leak, it's most likely to turn up at the
perimeter.  So, if you really want Pergo, maybe you
could just seal the outer edges before installing
them.  A little tedious now, but it could save you a
re-installation later.

FWIW, I found some really convincing vynil flooring. 
Everyone asks what kind of "wood" it is.  I love to
tell them it's harvested from PVC trees. It is
textured and has knots and all sorts of stuff.  Of
course, it's about 2-3 bucks a square foot, too.  But,
it's nothing like the old stuff that is obviously
plastic.   And, it is completely impervious to
2-year-olds.
