Ok, so what's the real difference between replacing your floor boards with aluminum ones compared to the ones dipped in plastic (I've seen on e-bay) or wood?
Does it really make a difference? If so, then which do you recommend? Also, what's the deal with perforated vs. non-perforated floor boards? Thanks! Evan |
