Teak and Holly floor

[rogerthebodger]

Does any know the width of the teak bit and the holly bit on "standard" Teak and holly floor ply as I intend to make my own from solid Iroko and maple wood.

On my floor, darker wood (teak) is 60mm and lighter wood (holly) is 6mm.

Can you get this stuff as some sort of lino, like the Beneteaus seem to have?

 

[rogerthebodger]

I have seen it in a formica type material but I dont know where, but I like real wood.

You can certainly get it as a laminate to glue onto existing floor using contact adhesive. It's hard wearing and looks OK. I took my existing floor panels (ply) home and did it there. If you cut the laminate over size you can use a router with a suitable bit to trim the edge to exactly match the existing floor board.

Make sure that the board is either flat or curved very slightly concave when glueing so that the laminate will not be under compression when the board is reinstalled, otherwise the laminate may lift in places.
