But I had to do a lot of research beforehand to figure out the best option for me, my home and lifestyle. There are a handful of common choices available including carpet, vinyl, linoleum, laminate and of course, real hard wood flooring. But what&#8217;s the difference?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Great RV Flooring Types<\/h2>\n<h3>CARPET<\/h3>\n<p>Carpet for me was an automatic, no. However, if I didn\u2019t have pets and also hadn\u2019t experienced a mouse infestation which has tainted my view of motorhome carpet, probably forever, I may have considered re-installing carpet aboard Rhea Rada. I probably would have chosen a heavier Berber carpet just out of personal taste, but there are so many styles to suite everyone\u2019s preference and budget.<\/p>\n<p>Carpet is really cheap to install as well as way easier than any of the other flooring types listed. You can knock out your stairwell with new carpeting in less than an hour; probably not the case for the others that require measuring, cutting and maybe even edge-finishing.<br \/>\nCarpet is also a nice choice if you tend to stay in cooler climates where walking on carpet can be more comfortable than harder floors. Carpets are also friendly to our senior pets and folks in our lives that may have trouble getting around.<br \/>\n<script async \n\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsby\n\ngoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Mobile Rectanlge --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-\n\nblock;width:320px;height:100px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5963571898405363\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9839439936\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The downside, especially for RV dwellers is that you need to have a vacuum on hand. I was so surprised after ripping out the old carpet and then installing my vinyl flooring at how quickly dog hair and debris covers the floor, even with my no-shoes rule. I used to vacuum about once every two weeks. I can\u2019t go more than 4 or 5 days at the most without needing to sweep or vacuum now. Just because you don\u2019t see the debris with carpet, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not all there.<\/p>\n<h3>VINYL<\/h3>\n<p>Then there\u2019s vinyl flooring. Vinyl flooring can come in <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00BCIUIPG\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B00BCIUIPG&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=pippenings-20&#038;linkId=ISWN5BI3CYFNPUTL\" target=\u201d_blank\u201d >cheap squares<\/a> with sticky backs for ease of installation or you can buy what\u2019s called <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B008E486F0\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B008E486F0&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=pippenings-20&#038;linkId=MCFVY7XSY2II5SBV\" target=\u201d_blank\u201d >luxury vinyl planks<\/a> that mimic a variety of wood types. The luxury vinyl planks not only look like wood but they even have engravings on them to enhance the grain appearance and feel less fabricated.<\/p>\n<p>Vinyl tiling is the best option in wet areas of the house or RV, like the bathroom and possibly the kitchen. For me, it\u2019s also necessary around the dog food bowls where soggy slurps leave their evidence on the floor resembling the Finnish countryside. Any where water might be left standing would be best suited with vinyl because it\u2019s waterproof as opposed to water-resistant. Vinyl tiling has layers of thin rubber with a printed and embossed top pattern. The luxury planks come with a tongue-and-groove interlocking system deeming the entire floor covering to be almost 100% waterproof.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pippenings.com\/imgs\/blog\/floor-types\/luxury-vinyl-tile.JPG\" alt=\"Luxury Vinyl Tile Plank, african wood\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Luxury vinyl planks can either be floating, which means they are stuck together and just covering the floor without actually being attached to the floor or they can be glued down. For locations in your home where there is high traffic, in industrial settings or in high heat climates, it\u2019s advisable to use <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0006MXRXO\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B0006MXRXO&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=pippenings-20&#038;linkId=ZWGDRZYUZX76BN4Z\" target=\u201d_blank\u201d >adhesive to seal the vinyl<\/a> to the sub flooring below. This is a fraction of added cost, it will add time to the installation but worth it to not have to re-do any portion of the floor once the project is complete.<br \/>\n<script async \n\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsby\n\ngoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Mobile Rectanlge --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-\n\nblock;width:320px;height:100px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5963571898405363\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9839439936\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>From my personal experience installing luxury vinyl planks in my RV, even if I didn\u2019t tend to reside in warmer climates that require adhesive, I would do so anyway because with all the little cuts and funky corners and edges that RVs have, I had a lot of little pieces that only had a small area of tongue and groove to attach to. Otherwise there would have been many little rogue pieces of vinyl that would almost be floating on their own. In these cases, I was happy to be using the adhesive.<\/p>\n<p>A downside of vinyl tiling is that it must be directly placed on its sub floor. Other flooring types like hard wood and laminate planks can have extra padding and insulation installed below them for extra comfort.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the tiles and planks are not rigid or thick enough to hide surface imperfections below them. So, if there\u2019s a small difference in sub floor board pieces that don\u2019t line up to be flush and no leveler is used to compensate for the raised edge, this will eventually make its way visually through the vinyl flooring. Exposed nail or screw heads can undoubtedly cause this effect, too possibly puncturing through the vinyl depending on traffic.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b5MgGW9gfYc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Increasingly luxurious vinyl tiling products have certainly changed the former trend somewhat that laminate flooring has a higher resale rate than vinyl but not fully. Buyers may tend to prefer the look and feel of laminate over vinyl. However, in the perfect conditions and compared to laminate without insulation below, resulting in a harder feeling floor, it might be hard to know the difference between the two. Considering vinyl flooring, it would be easy to install carpet or laminate right over the top if a future owner ever wished to do so.<\/p>\n<h3>LAMINATE<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pippenings.com\/imgs\/blog\/floor-types\/laminate-flooring-plank.JPG\" alt=\"Laminate Flooring Planck\" width=\"540\" height=\"492\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Laminate flooring is a great choice because the look and feel of real wood is there. <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00L2WU06Y\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B00L2WU06Y&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=pippenings-20&#038;linkId=W2WEZOJGO5FS7JVV\" target=\u201d_blank\u201d>Laminate floor planks<\/a> are easy to install as more modern manufacturers offer a click-and-lock fastening system to the planks. Laminate flooring is almost always installed to be floating. Meaning it is not adhered to the sub floor below. The best part about its floating capability along with its rigidity is that <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001CXYYVA\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001CXYYVA&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=pippenings-20&#038;linkId=ZTBS77T4Z7W323BF\" target=\u201d_blank\u201d>insulation and\/or padding<\/a> can be laid down before the planks are installed above. Doing so gives extra comfort when standing and walking and added insulation to the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Laminate planks are composed of wood composites, including saw dust with a laminated and design-bearing top layer. Just like particle board which is similar in property and make-up as laminate tiles, water can destroy it by causing it to expand into mush. This is why laminate flooring should not be installed in wet areas of the home.<\/p>\n<p>Laminate flooring also limits you to the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0056IV0AA\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B0056IV0AA&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=pippenings-20&#038;linkId=3EBSLMRIBVYPX3CC\" target=\u201d_blank\u201d>type of cleaner<\/a> you can use on it, how you apply the cleaner, you can\u2019t use water to clean it ever and spills of any type must be cleaned up immediately. A specific type of cleaner is recommended and it is better to be sprayed onto the rag or mop than directly onto the floor. That just screams \u2018high-maintenance\u2019 in my mind, but it\u2019s a very nice and definitely considerable flooring option.<\/p>\n<h3>LINOLEUM<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pippenings.com\/imgs\/blog\/floor-types\/linoleum.jpg\" alt=\"linoleum flooring rv motorhome friendly\" width=\"291\" height=\"350\" \/>Linoleum became popular in the 40s so think about your grandmother\u2019s kitchen floor, or classrooms in old schools. Do you ever recall seeing chair feet or desk feet kind of sink into the floor causing little waves? Or old diner floors that were always a bit sticky even though they were just mopped? Those were probably linoleum, a very cheap yet eco-friendly flooring type.<\/p>\n<p>Because linoleum\u2019s material composition is predominantly natural oils and fibers, it\u2019s cheap and also friendly on the environment. It\u2019s also malleable and can tear easily. Linoleum stains easily so to keep it in top shape, a linoleum floor should be buffed and polished occasionally. If exposed to natural sunlight, linoleum will take on a yellow shade. The buffing and polishing can remove this as well.<\/p>\n<p>Linoleum can be purchased in sheets and stapled down which, along with its more economical price, makes this a quick and easy flooring. Linoleum tiles are also available and can be ordered in a variety of colors and shades.<\/p>\n<h3>HARD WOOD<\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/homedesignss\/4033747504\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pippenings.com\/imgs\/blog\/floor-types\/wood-floors.jpg\" alt=\"Hard wood floors RV\" width=\"470\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: \u00a9 homedesignss under CC 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Wood floors are classic and probably always will be. If resale value is the highest priority, than wood is a great option. However, resale value of wood floors in a house might be more sought after than resale value of wood floors in an RV. Wood floors are much heavier which isn\u2019t always favorable for RVers as more weight only lowers gas mileage. Wood floors will also weigh heavy on your wallet.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 288px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Parquet_-_Le_Petit_Trianon_(1).jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pippenings.com\/imgs\/blog\/floor-types\/parquet.jpg\" alt=\"parquet floors RV\" width=\"288\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: \u00a9 Fanny Schertzer under CC license 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As far as durability, wood floors don\u2019t always add up. They must be maintained to stand up to higher traffic and any rugged use. They are naturally porous so they have to be sealed with a polyurethane coating that will need to regularly be applied. Otherwise, wood floors are susceptible to stains and liquids. Depending on the wood type, they may also scratch easily. If you\u2019ve heard of parquet flooring and wondering where it fits into this comparative mix, parquet is a wood floor. It has its own name because it\u2019s not just wood flooring but specially patterned wood flooring. It can come in a variety of patterns.<br \/>\n<script async \n\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsby\n\ngoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Mobile Rectanlge --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-\n\nblock;width:320px;height:100px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5963571898405363\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9839439936\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Carpet, vinyl, laminate, linoleum and wood flooring are all common types of floors and all suitable in their own unique way to bring new life to your RV.
