Brilliant idea and very well executed ! Did you use the same laminate for the flooring in your cabin ? BTW, very much like the Scottish touch (I am married to a French Scottish Canadian and have lived until very recently in the west of Scotland ).

No I am debating on whether to use it on the cabin sole as when it gets wet it can be very slippery on the feet I will post the window frames when I get them done . "I am married to a French Scottish Canadian " well been with French , Scottish , Canadian & French Canadian women but not all @ once " not saying I could not handle them all " was just back home before Xmas to see family

For Cabin Sole::There is a stipple effect that can be added to most surfaces that makes them slip resistant.. It might also help with sealing the cut edges ? What do the instructions say about suitable installation areas? Most I have checked into suggest: Not for Use In Kitchens or Baths or Anyplace dampness or water spill's may occure..
From another angle? Increasing your permanent ballast ... While I was looking for tile for the new house , my brother and I spotted 6" x 24" Porcelain tile , that properly installed ? Really has a remarkable resemblance to Plank Wood.. He has or will be shipping in or around 1500 sq ft of it to St Croix for a Home Remodel.. tehehehe

Just removed my 3/4 ash hardwood floor from the cabin as it has soaked up up enough moisture to expand 5/8" . Looked good and was cheap, but the expansion (very little moisture under boards, maybe just in air?) has started to scuff fg around cabin sole. So no replacing. Considering dri deck stuff or something similar but grippier. The laminate may last as long as the wood but most likely less. It does look good, but at the same time I don't want to spen time replacing it every other year...its just one more thing to do. Ah well.

I have been very pleased with the Lonseal flooring http://search.defender.com/?expression=lonseal. It looks very good, has a good texture, is non slip when wet, is durable, and easy to clean. Installation consists of making patterns to cut the flooring, holding in place with carpet tape, and sealing the edges with silicone sealant.

Very Cool and do-able .. How many linear feet did you end up buying?

I forget how many feet I bought but the sheet was wide enough I bought enough to cover the longest piece and could cut out all three from the width (I also installed under the table on my ) . BTW, Defender shipped some extra on my order.

Highlander,
Did you need to stain the edges? Were you able to match the color?
Cheers,
