Yes, tongue and groove. Fits closer to cabinets without lots of caulk or moulding.

Hi - we put in a new subfloor. The Allure is going down very smoothly. I think as long as your surface is clean and level, you should be fine but don't quote me on that. Good Luck!

I am installing it actually. Daniel has been doing all the super hard stuff (plumbing, electrical, construction) and I am doing the finishing details on the interior. I've laid about half the floor (ran out of material) and once you get started it goes pretty smoothly. The Allure cuts easily and lays nicely. It did take much longer than the two hours all the videos said it would take though. And really really map out where your starting point is. In an RV, you have cuts and decisions to make about how things are going to lay that you don't in a big open room. That was the hardest part. Other than that - no professional is needed.
Hope that helps!

Paula,
I also layed an allure floor into my RV and it was pretty easy laying till i hit the cutting spots where I found out that some of the angles in the RV are not quite straight. A dremel worked quite nicely, I highly recommend it as some of the corners are rounded and its nice to keep it close, within a 1/8 inch within the walls.....bathroom was tricky too....but just finished my floor last week....lol.

No Worries, I do have one more suggestion, the glue that the Allure tiles have on the edge, while just an inch of glue on them for the other tile to stick to. You will need to make sure that you cover up the grey (sticky) part of the tile with something before you using the Dremel on them, as they tend to get the dust everywhere....so its imperative that you cover up the glue part with something....I used the parchment paper of sorts that was in between the tiles....
