Folks,

I'm getting close to putting in my hardwood laminate flooring. I plan to use the "Quiet walk" fiber pad under it. I will be cutting it around my swivel seat bases for the Honda seats and trim with bezel that came with them. My couch, on the other hand, I was planning to bolt through it since it needs to be a bit higher. To those of you who used the snap together floating floor a few questions:

1. Did you use an underlayment such as 1/4 inch plywood or OSB or just cover the stock floor.

2. Have you had any issues with bolting things through it to the frame?

3. Do you have any issues with the joints due to the coach floor flexing? (Seems to flex a bit).

4. Any other tricks you guys learned the hard way so I don't have to? Very Happy

I do plan to fill all the little holes and such with silicone. That floor is like a piece of swiss cheese. Some of the countersunk bolts don't even go into the frame...

Thanks in advance!
