Yes it cleans so much better. We bought a nice broom at Home Depot today and it sweeps so well and gets the floor so clean, very easy. We love it so much better than carpet. We were sold on carpet until we realized how much we tracked in. This type flooring makes so much more sense in outdoor camping.
Has anyone used the Allure Ultra? Supposedly uses no adhesive strips, just click locks together. They advertise it as 100% waterproof. Which is easier to install?
I was told at the sore when it snaps together, it can be difficult to get apart. With the adhesives strips, you can lift them apart to reposition them.
Another question for those with experience. The instructions and a Q&A that I saw, state that Allure is only to be installed in 100% temperature controlled environments. What is the experience that cold weather area folks have had? Is this a significant concern or is it mostly CYA overkill?
I really don't know why they say that. I've put Allure flooring in 4 trailers and can't be much more extreme than Phoenix heat in the summer. Had all the trailers camping into the 20's and no issues ever with the Allure flooring. My buddy Joe Z put a piece of Allure submerged in a bucket of water for a week... No change. Stuff is practically indestructible.
Sounds like Allure flooring does fine in heat. But for those of us in the northern tier of states - and there are a LOT of Scamps here in MN, of course - does anyone have an experience with how it stands up to -25 to -30? Cuz in spite of global warming, we still get the occasional "test winter." Like 2014-15, when 75% of the days between December 1 and March 31 included below zero temps, where I live. It was even worse, further north. The worst winter in 35 years, from the cold point of view.
I'm sure there are installs in that area since it is quite popular, but haven't seen any direct posts on the topic. Being familiar with the product I can't see any reason why it would be an issue. If you decide to put it in you can be our test case for extreme winters and report back.
I just completed a 3BR 2BA condo renovation and used the Allure Bamboo for the first time in a residential rental environment. Did the kitchen, both baths, utility area and landing at the door in the Allure. Came out beautiful and if I hadn't had experience with the trailer installs I probably wouldn't have pulled it off as well. I hope it is as good in this application as it has been in the trailers.

OK, thanks. I guess that could make a difference, especially for a novice.
You will do a good,job. Get a pair of straight cut sheet metal cutters. Much needed for detail cuts around wood turnouts, and corners.

Thanks, I think I'll give it a shot once I'm home from North Dakota later this month. Just have to decide what color...
