It's finally time to lay our campervan vinyl floor! We choose to use sheet vinyl flooring in our van conversion as it's lightweight and fairly easy to install.
Before laying the vinyl floor down we added some 4-way stretch carpet to the top end of our plywood flooring and also the pillars near the back of the van. We thought we would do that first to give a nice flush finish once the vinyl flooring was installed. It was our first time using stretch carpet too and we really enjoyed working with it!
We also filled the gaps at the edge of the plywood with some expanding foam and then cut back the excess once it was cured to give the vinyl something to sit on and not fall down all the gaps.
We finished by adding some sikaflex 522 around the edges to seal in the vinyl floor and keep it waterproof.
It feels like it's starting to look more like a campervan now that the flooring is in! It took a long time to cut back the vinyl so that it fitted neatly but it was worth doing, we really like how it turned out 🙂
