Bud Driver, Thanks for your input, but can you say why you wouldn't try to fill a gap in the marriage line of a Manufactured home. We are laying flooring and we want to close this gap somewhat so it won't show the through the flooring so bad? I did talk to a friend of ours who is a contractor and has owned several manufactured homes and he concurred the advise we were given is what he would do. He said the vinyl concrete is a better choice becuase it is is mixed thicker and sets up quicker. Do you have a prejudice against manufactured homes? And do you have any personal experience in doing this type of project? Nancy

Obviously all the choices about this are yours to make and always have been. I do believe that the post was for the purpose of securing approbation rather than advice. Good luck.

Well, I'm sorry that you thought I was asking for approval. That was not my intention at all. I want to know if anyone has any experience or better advice. From your answer, I simply took it to mean you would not attempt to fill a marriage line in a manufactured home at all, but offered no idea or advice as to what you thought should be done. I realize is and always been our choice on what we do. So, please do you or anyone have any suggestions since we do have the flooring already purchased. I am willing to consider any suggestions anyone may have. Sorry you took my post that way.

I saw your post on the Flooring forum. I have no idea whether this is a modular or double wide- but I did ask and received no answer. My advice would be very different for the two types of home. I installed some Trafficmaster Allure last year. I deeply regret ever having bought that stuff.

Yes, I did post on the flooring forum. We do have a manufactured home. The advise I got there sounded like a good one. So, I called the manufacturer and spoke with a man who has the same home. Two years ago he installed sheet vinyl and filled the marriage line with what he called rolled foam then put a very thin strip of aluminum over that. He says so far so good. Why are you dissatified with Allure? We have already purchased it but have the option to return it. However, this product fits our budget, so now I'm rather discouraged. My sons are planning to remove the carpet and install it this week-end. Nancy

Hi nana. I'm new to this forum and just found your thread. Would you mind posting a followup on what you did about the marriage line in your floor and whether you stuck with the Allure flooring?

Dang woman, just answer the poopy question she asked 16 years ago, ey?

Foam backer and metal transition strip.

have 20 year old maunfactored home. will cover plywood floors again when can get to it currently used Behr slate gray porch paint to cover old but good plywood . Will use foam like covers pipes in 1/2 to 1 " gap that was plugged by crew who Leveled it recently since have bad allergies will use space carpet i can replace regularly to cover 80 % of wood floor looks good so far its a bed room not living room so believe will work fine till we replace an add flooring

I was just in my crawlspace trying to track down the source of musty/moldy smell that comes up in certain places in the home (in the center) when it is really hot outside...we tracked odor coming from the back of the heating cooling control panel where the wires come in through the wall and I have sealed that up. The odor persists. So I went into the crawlspace to see if I could find any places where air from below could get up into the home. I noticed that along the long center line where the two halves of our home come together there are places where there is a small gap and places where the two halves press together. My thought is to fill in the gaps with something and maybe tape over the gap from below. I came here to learn what might be recommended. My use case is unique I guess.
