Compartment Carpet Material (final answer)

I picked up some of the Ozite material from Home Depot but the color and texture didn't match the standard compartment material. I called Foretravel and found out that our coaches use something called Duett Flannel. According to Billy Jack in Parts it's the only material they've ever used. Turns out it is less expensive than the Ozite @ $9.57 per linear yard. It's six feet wide.

The carpet in my forward compartment was getting worn (no slider in that compartment) so I replaced it. It's easy to handle and cut although one has to be careful with the sticky spray glue stuff.

Jor,
 
You didn't brag about how easy it was to remove the old stuff. What was your protocol for that?
 
Thanks for the information,

The new carpet looks great!  I hate using that spray glue - it drifts in the air and ends up coating everything within 10 feet of the "target", including me.  >:(

Where were you able to find it? I searched the internet and they kept sending me to bedding for a duvet.

Remove Old: It just pulled right up. It leaves a reddish material behind. It will come up with acetone but there's no reason to remove it. I just vacuumed, gave it a quick wipe with alcohol and glued on the new stuff.

Where Get: I ordered it from Foretravel. I had followed Brad's link and found it on the internet. I was about to order a sample so I could get the color right when I thought about calling Foretravel direct. I think their price is competitive on this stuff.
