Interior flooring

[OldSkool]

I'd like to replace my heavy flooring with light weight poly board flooring. Does anyone have contact information or application information for such a product? I seen where someone has used it as a swim platform extention on this site. Can I get in in measured sheet sizes 4X8 or 5X10? Thanks for your help. :smt100

There are a couple of options available. Plasteak at $8.00 per square foot:

Or you can use Allure, which is a 3/16 vinyl available from Home Depot. This goes down in strips and looks like a Pergo type floor. This is recommended for bathrooms or kitchens where moisture can be a problem.

Sundancer, Great products for sure but I'm actually looking to pull the old floor completely out and start over with light weight underlayment. Sorry if I wasn't to clear. I appreciate you posting the links though. Love the Teak look flooring.

BTW, The swim platform shown mounted to the boat on the plasteaks site is very simular to the one I am currently building out of manufactures deck boards. I'll post pictures when it's complete.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think StarBoard or seaboard is necessarily light weight. It's seems to be pretty heavy. Maybe I am misunderstanding as well.

Is this what you are referring to?

Leave me start over. What I want to do is strip out the plywood flooring and replace it with a lighter weight sub type flooring. If possible. something with a finish so I don't need to put carpet back down and is waterproof. If I could find something like a 3/4" thick poly sheet. Hope that helps. Sorry for taking your time if I guided down the wrong path.

3/4 " would be heavy.1/2 is about the same weight as plywood.Its also a bit slippery so i would go with snap in carpet at minimum.still easy to clean and waterproof.use lots of 5200 on the screws and i would run a bead of 4200 on the tops of the stringers also before laying it down.Talk to topnbr about it hes a fan also.

1956olds, Understood on the 5200 and 4200 application. One more question, I thought ploy board would be lighter than wood of the same thickness. Is my thinking incorrect? Thanks for your advise.
