Good morning. I have a 1996 Sundancer. Looking for ideas on what to do with the cabin floors. looking for ideas. want to do away with the carpet. Thanks Guys
 
I pulled my carpets and put in Infinity flooring.

some have installed vinyl plank flooring in place of the carpet....that is on my 'to do' list once i retire latter this year....IMO it really dresses up the cabin and should be MUCH easier to clean than the carpet....

several threads about this....suggest you do a search in the 'Modifications' forum if interested....

I'd like to pull my carpet up and install hardwood... I know a couple of guys that have done it and it looks great!

Here is what I had installed 2 years ago, NuTeak,?, by c-flor, very labor intensive, but that’s probably any flooring where you remove the carpets. We did this when we bought the boat,wife made it a requirement, carpets don’t belong on boats. Still amazes me how long it took manufacturers to start using wood-like Flooring in boats. My neighbor Gary installed this himself, he basically would spend a few hours on the boat each day sanding, a good chunk of the work for him was prepping the surface.

That is beautiful !!
 
Beautiful work guys! This is on the to do list.
 
The Infinity weave comes with backing and various thickness. Which thickness are you using? ..I didn't think to use it like a runner.
We are looking at making new runners with Infinity canvas. Have you seen or used it?... It seems to be a bit stiff to me

I only use the HD backed Infinity. I have samples of the Infinity canvas. I really like it but it is quite a bit more than Sunbrella. It is hard to switch from a very field proven product like Sunbrella, although I would like to try the Infinity canvas sometime.
 
I like the infinity canvas because it has a subtle pattern to it and would be different then the stock Sunbrella... Do you think it would be too stiff ?
 
I think it would be workable.
