Cork flooring for mobile homes, RVs, and trailers

Cork flooring can be compared for mobile homes, RVs, and trailers when lightweight comfort, warmth, and quiet steps matter. Weight, movement, substrate, moisture, and finished height must be checked before buying.

• Compare glue-down cork tiles and floating cork by movement and height.
• Check substrate, moisture, transitions, and maintenance expectations first.
• Order samples to compare weight, color, thickness, and texture.

The glue down cork tile can be used as trailer flooring, mobile home flooring and on any surface – floors, walls, ceilings, counter tops, cutting boards, tables, cabinetry, etc. – with excellent results. All it takes is a little bit of knowledge and a lot of imagination.

Forna tiles have been successfully installed in a “double-decker” bus to reduce road noise and add strong, yet elegant, design accents to this “executive lounge on wheels”. The owner used 6mm Rocky Bush glue-down tiles on both levels, up the stairs and even added the tiles to the walls and a few table tops. He was so pleased with the noise reduction he took the time out of his restoration to call us. He simply could not believe how much of a difference this light-weight material could make to an old, noisy diesel engine out of the ‘60s. The sound mitigation was the bonus. He originally wanted cork to help add ambiance and character without breaking the bank. What a marvelous idea.

We have helped numerous owners restore their streamliners and collectable camper-trailers to their former glory. Our most recent venture saw an unusual “double stick” installation go down in a 4-season camper as trailer flooring. Golden Beach was used as the underlay and then Sand Marble tiles where installed directly over top. The owner was kind enough to mentioned Forna in a blog about trailer flooring for camper-trailer enthusiasts: http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f56/new-cork-flooring-58623.html (used with written permission). His project neatly details his work, both in written and graphic form. We’ve also helped RV owners refurbish their high-end homes when their top-of-the-line floors ended up looking decrepit within five years of purchase. Our glue down tiles are lighter than vinyl or carpet, can be installed in every space (including bathrooms) and offer the same amount of clearance for pull-outs than thin laminates or ceramic tiles.

Some vehicle conversion projects use glue-down cork for floors and panels. Check the product’s substrate, adhesive, temperature, moisture and fire requirements for the proposed application.

For a boat or yacht, assess moisture exposure, substrate movement, adhesive, finish and maintenance requirements before using cork. Outdoor use is outside the residential warranty.
