I've spent 2 winters on this boat and it's been fine on the floor but it did have a huge lasagne of layers up until I ripped it up. No one seems to be able to agree on an insulation that I could use between my sub and my ply layer that is both breathable and insulating so what am I to do! Slippers, thick socks, central heating and the multistove will suffice I'm sure. Unless you can suggest an insulation layer?

Thanks everyone for your replies. Aesthetically I absolutely could not stand carpet tiles, so thats out of the question. Likewise LVT, I looked into it before but its a no from me. I think I'll be laying some thinner ply on top of my subfloor and will glue my parquet to that, of course allowing for access hatches. Probably wont bother with a layer of insulation. Fingers crossed!

Hello, I'm looking for advice. I'm laying a new floor throughout my 57 ft NB. I’ve just ripped up all my floor so I can lay a new one, I’m down to my subfloor which looks in pretty good condition. I’m going for an engineered, tongue and groove, parquet in a herringbone pattern (sample in pic). The manufacturer recommends gluing it down with a flexible glue. I don’t want to glue it directly onto my subfloor because if it ever needs ripping up for an emergency or otherwise, that would mean destroying both the finished floor AND the subfloor and that’s would be a real nightmare. So, I’m thinking to put down a second subfloor - a thinner layer of marine ply to glue my finished floor onto. Should I put a layer of insulation or something between the 2 subfloors? If so what? When I ripped up my floor there was insulation between the layers and I noticed there was moisture trapped between so I’m unsure it’s a good idea. The floor I ripped up had out of use underfloor heating + t&g + insulation + laminate on top though so it was a bit of mess. Maybe just a thin layer of insulation would be good? Tia
