Laying Flotex type floor tiles in Troll

Hi
Has anyone ever thought of fitting Flotex type floor tiles in their Erba?
We had them on the floor in the kitchen years ago in a previous house and I ended up putting them down in my shed 10 years ago & they are still going strong
Thought they might give us some extra insulation when using the van in winter months.& they are really easy to keep clean. They also look as if they would easily fit under the bathroom door.
They would be a bit fiddly to cut to fit but not impossible.
Am I missing something obvious?

Mike,
we fitted them in our 2nd marital home back in 1988, I think. Very hard wearing , easy to clean [I dropped a full hot tray of roast potato on the floor] but they are fairly heavy and other floorings offer better options.
Imagine the non slip holey rubber matting you put in drawers and overhead lockers. Werbung: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/292894608958?ch...nBoCJ0cQAvD_BwE
We sourced a larger version of this from Lidl/Aldi many years ago and another piece cut to length off the roll in a French home store a couple of years ago. It's wonderful stuff. Easy to cut to shape. Soft and warm to walk on. Any muck falls through the gaps so you can roll flooring back and brush it up as needed, Lightweight,. It cost about euro 7 per metre.

You can get floor quality of the above here that's very light and robust.

Mike,
it seems pretty robust. The first piece I got from Aldi/Lidl was a 1500 x 500 bright yellow. This was down for couple of weeks one year, lifted every few days and the floor brushed. When we got home I soaked it in a bucket of warm water with clothes washing machine liquid [I thnk], rinsed it off and it came out like new. Next year it was down for a month in France.
I'd been looking in the UK for it off the roll but no luck. I did find something similar but hideous colours in a caravan accessory shop and not to my likeing I came across a nice greyish verssion in a French garden/diy/builders suppliers and bought 2.2m cut to length. This has been down 4 or 6 weeks not needed washing and still looks good.
Islay,
when things open up for you and you start "normal" life, when you come across it next could you make a note of the name on the dispenser roll so we can attempt to try and trace it again.
Thanks - Colin
