Flooring Options for Your Cabin
Your cabin can be finished with either hard-wearing hybrid flooring or low-maintenance carpet. For a modern, timber-look surface, Oakhaven hybrid flooring offers a waterproof, durable finish with easy cleaning, a P3 slip rating, and a quick Uniclic click installation system, with a range of colour options. Prefer something softer underfoot? Montrosa carpet is heavy-duty, stain resistant, pet friendly, colourfast, and designed for easy care in active homes.
