Fitting Altro Walkway Vinyl Floor to our Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van Conversion. This is a super tough Vinyl that is normally used in hospitals and gyms where it needs to be really hard wearing.

Hiya Just come across your video. I am a floorlayer ,couple of things people might find useful. Trim fix will react with the vinyl over time causing possible discolouration. Use FW Ball and co F44 adhesive. A better option for the diy user is Altro Expresslay, to look at it is exactly their same as the walkway but is designed to be laid lose and only fixed with Altro double sided tape. It is an excellent product I have laid in schools and commercial buildings so plenty good enough for a camper. All the best!

Bit late now but when we fit altro in bathrooms we leave an upstand at the edge wherever possible and use weld rod to seal the cuts, just to try and contain any spills. Just a thought. We're using normal lino in our van this time as we had altro in a previous van and because of the texture it can be a bit of a pig to clean thoroughly. Looking forward to the furniture build films 👍🚐😉

Hello Greg, thank you so much for the time and care you take to produce these videos. It seems like the activity has slowed a bit, so perhaps you are out roaming the world...instead of building a van? I had a quick question. I have a 2014 sprinter camper van that came with no seats in it but there is a metal floor. There are a few small holes where the seats were removed. My question is - I don't have any way of creating a plywood subfloor (no tools, no skills, no friends or family who can help. I am also in the Netherlands where I can not do this work where it is visible and I don't have a workspace with electricity, etc.) I have been told my wooden cabinets will rot out if glued to the metal floor directly. I have been racking my brain for a solution. For instance, I COULD glue a linoleum/vinyl floor in place over the metal and then use liquid nails/acrylate expoxy to secure wood to linoleum, or lay down rubber flooring and do the same thing. I realize that neither of these is the "right" way to do it. A plywood subfloor screwed in would be preferable. If you have thoughts, opinions or idea on this, I would be so appreciative. Thank you!
@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe 2 жыл бұрын
You are going to need tools to complete your build so before you do anything else invest in some cheap tools and then start practicing on scraps of wood. Do the job right the first time and you won’t have problems on the future. You can always sell the tools once you have finished to get some cash back.

Hi Greg, thanks for the video. Would you please be able to let me know what adhesive you used and the process/prep you did for this? Thanks!

Hi Tony, I had some contact adhesive the guys use at work for fixing laminate but it’s a one shot deal once you touch the two together there’s no way you’re shifting it. I would recommend Trim fix as we used that on the step and it’s perfect, very strong and hi temperature and you can get hold of it really easily. 👍🏼

Ok fella... you are my NEW hero! I literally have just binge watched all your van video up until this one hahaha. I have a question... I'm just starting a van project on my channel... similar-ish to yours but I will be having a massive garage in the back to store all my windsurfing kit plus Mountain bikes etc. So my question is... if you were doing what I'm doing how would you seal the floor? as obviously there will be saltwater from the kit dripping in the van! Is the vinyl water proof enough if I say went up the walls a bit in the garage section. I'd love to hear your thoughts... as you are the man! I'm a fan now and trust your opinion haha!! (* I don't particularly want to send a fortune :)

Hello, yes, but the Altro flooring is definitely waterproof, it would be a good idea to put a small radius fillet between the floor and walls and run the vinyl in one piece from floor up the walls as you have suggested. Thanks for the great comment

See here I am and I'm watching you hold up colors and I see the bubble wrap on the wall behind you and it looks nice and smooth and flat but I have no idea what's underneath it or how you got it nice and smooth and flat and where did you spray the glue
@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe Жыл бұрын
Spray over the main structures of the van and any large flat areas doesn’t need a lot to hold it in place just a few tacks here and there is enough then foil tape all the joins and edges. 👍🏼😃

The curve blade was very good at trimming around things, straight blade for straight cuts.

Watching this video again I’m wondering if it’d be easier cutting the vinyl on top of the ply before it goes in the van, more for the curves than anything as they look really hard compared to the straight edges. Hoping to do my floor soon and having a quick recap of your videos makes it so much easier as I can order things in advance and know how to approach it before I start

I started off making paper templates of the wheel arches etc but then thought just be quicker to crack on and trim it in the van. Actually worked out really well it was easy to cut with a fresh blade.

Noticed at 5:45 that there are markings for electrics. Did you run wires under the floor? We are currently in the design phase of our van build and are trying to figure out the best way to get both the water & power from one side of the van to the other.
@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe 6 жыл бұрын
Yes, well spotted. I laid a 40 x 25mm PVC electrical trunking into the 25mm Celotex so I could get the electrics from one side of the van to the other. With a trunking stalled you can also rewire without having the floor up again. There are two such trunkings With the water services they will be exposed in the garage and cupboards, I do not recommend you bury these in case they leak.

This came out great, Greg! I like the choice of material, I'll definitely keep something like that in mind if/when I move towards a camper of my own. It looks like a great first attempt. It seems like you decided to go with the conventional/straight razor--did the hook not work out well when you tried it? Were there any other materials you were considering for the floor?
@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe 6 жыл бұрын
Hello Alex, The hook did work really well at cutting off the small curved bits around the wheel arches. I really wanted to go with astroturf, fake grass, but the misses wouldn't let me.

Awesome videos Greg. A friend of mine mentioned about when cutting the vinyl floor to use the original floor panel as a template. Lay it on the Vinyl and cut around it to get a good shape and finish. What do you think to this?

Hi Greg, just at the stage of laying our altro floor and noticed your labels for cable trunking. Not something we have included but thinking now it may be better than going up and around the roof. Did you install trunking after the floor and insulation? If so any tips on tools or how to cut into the timber thats already stuck to the floor?
