Gonna go and get some ply to do the flooring of the van. Should i get exterior ply or will any do? Marine ply costs a fortune and been told MDF is too soft cause we gonna bolt unwin seat rails in so wondering if there is a decent alternative to Marine. Any suggestions please?

I used 9mm ply from wickes, I put that over the top of the rear insulated rubber foam vw liner that was already in the van and then foam backed lino over that, it's been great so far, I used 2 sheets and made the join under the cupboards.

Hi thanks for the reply.
We are gonna lay low profile seat rails so decided to lay 12mm ply on top of the existing ply to give enough depth.
Just bought it already cut to size from eBay so should go straight in. Cost a bit more but worth it not to have the hassle of measuring and cutting.
Probably cover it in lino too, looking for something in grey.Up there for thinking, down there for dancing.

Except for the Altro though, having worked in a hospital for years, last thing I want is flooring that reminds me of work.

Hi again
The ply is WBP grade which from googling appears to be ok. It's on its way now so we'll just go with the flow and fingers crossed it's ok. Thinking of putting a layer of foil bubble insulation from b and Q between the 2 layers of ply just to give a bit more insulation. Have been looking at the Altro flooring and am tempted but wanted something a bit softer under feet. Will keep our options open on this.Up there for thinking, down there for dancing.

I know what you mean about the vinyl flooring, I originally had carpet as I wanted it to feel like a front room/bedroom rather than the kitchen, but also using it for work meant it soon got covered in pva and sawdust, and when it was muddy it was a nightmare with the stinky dog, so the vinyl worked out to be far more practicalJebem ti nanu u trulu sisu
