Pergo type flooring in a truck

What a great idea! It sure will look sharp You may want to look into the more expensive "Surround" tub and tile adhesive? Just a thought. It's pretty strong and may work better for you in that type area. Some of the adhedsives for flooring may become brittle. It may be worth your time to call some of the companies that make the adhedsives and tell them what you're using it for. You have extreme temp changes......

 

BMan, Pergo is a floating floor, so it won't work right if its anchored down. However, with the older style pergo (like we have in our house) the pieces have to be glued together, so it might work. The tough part would be molding it around the humps, angles, etc on a floor.

What about an aftermarket wood floor kit? I have seen them in catalogs before (I think Rockwood), were you just thinking about doing it on the slightly cheap?

 

Actually, the pergo will probably be thicker than the carpet, etc, and pergo recommends putting a foam barrier down between the pergo and the subfloor (or the cab floor) otherwise as it moves around it will squeak and groan! But even with some insulation and/or sound deadener, it will probably be thicker, but I doubt the difference would cause any problems.

You may just end up having to make two sections of pergo, one slanted (behind the pedals) and one flat, and then figure out some kind of transition piece.

 

You can also get fantastic vinyl with a wood design on that looks more like wood than wood does! Probably more durable too.

Please take pics when you are done! It sounds like it will turn out FANTASTIC!

 

any type of wood will expand and contract with temperature changes. If you try full glueing the floor..even though it is a "click together" floor, you are going to have some bonding issues. The biggest problem you will have is when the stuff get wet or damp it is going to swell and delaminate>basically fall apart. another thing, it will be very slippery when damp or wet.

 

Vinyl will crack when it gets cold and it will also be very slippery.

 

Brickman if you need any pointers on installing laminate wood flooring in your truck let me know,my brothers have a remodeling business and they have installed it in RV's and many homes.

 

To bend it properly you have to steam it 1st and use a mold of some type.
