    have got the job through a ship building company
    the specs are wet areas in toilets and galley (kitchen) cap n cove
    and amtico or karndean in the wheelhouse
    now obviously with the vast ammount of water on the decks and wheelhouse i take it an epoxy adhesive would have to be used
    ive never done lvts on a boat before plenty of experience in househould and commercial premises tho
    is epoxy easy to use??? or is there other adhesives on the market???
    floors will be marine plyed although im tempted to screed over but again unaware of what screed to use as hd 700 flex (dont know if that will be suitable)
    thanks for reading as i really dont want to mess this up as could be a lucrative contract in these tough times

    the only non slip lvt im aware of is amticos assura
    That being said, the wheelhouse of modern boat shouldnt really get that wet i wouldnt of thought
    (i watch too much deadliest catch :lol: )
    Def epoxy needed
    Not sure of the 700 on 'wet' areas as its a water mix :?

    speak to the manufactures of the products you decide to use for the compounds / glues etc.

    Also note that the flooring has to be marine approved also. You cant just fit a normal Karndean range for instance. Mflor do a Marine range.

    funny you should say that because ive had a few missed calls from them last week also been sooo busy i havent had time to go in for a chat with the new manager. the old manager didnt have a clue really was something silly like £50 just to measure a whole house for them its fair to say he got a few bottles of drink at xmas time from me :)
