Did the fitters of your seat not advise on flooring?
Ply Floor - Glue Or Screw

STIDE seats/system. There's plenty of room between track and ridges. In one photo I place a section of 12mm plywood underneath.
Yes, the whole assembly was rigged up with a special rig machine. So the tracks would give you tolerance for flooring
I see that, but you are limited in height based on the tracks as they overlap the floor (I presume as can't quite see on photo). Typically the floor and tracks are fitted in conjunction. For yours we would have fitted flooring to correct height, then set the rails in and fix down accordingly so the tracks overlap the floor You won't be able to fit one piece floor under the track in the middle, only in-between the tracks. I'm talking ideal here to ensure there are no gaps between floor and tracks, you may be able to get it all in but will not be in the best order in my opinion.
Yes but strength is then dictated by the dodo/floor bond. We do it if requested but caveat that were not responsible if it the dodo lets go from the floor..... It may never do this but when we bond anything down it's direct to ensure a correct bond
Interesting video. I see what you mean. Floor will go in 3 parts. Tracks run the whole length of van. I think it'll be fine. It's just how you bond it to floor. Ideally should have been done like video.
One question. What benefits do you lose not sound deadening and insulating underneath flooring? Maybe a dumb question but just glueing to batons is enough? There's not going to be condensation or anything? Better air flow if gap left empty?
It will be slightly noisier I suppose but the floor is bonded to the metal and will therefore deaden it to an extent. Been doing it this way over 15 years and not once had a problem. I think people overthink insulation in vans, don't forget that half of the van is not insulated (windows). It's your call, I'd rather know the floor is fixed properly
I appreciate your time responding. I agree with you on the overthinking of the insulation.
