My uncle has a sunroom that is basically an enclosed deck. The floor is slatted deck boards, open to, and elevated from, the ground.
He wants to put a finished floor on there. What are the best options?
I suggested a polyethylene barrier over the deck, followed by rigid insulation, then possibly a plywood underlay and finally laminate flooring. Would that work?
Would cement backerboard be a better choice?
He received counsel from a flooring guy that laminate is a bad choice in that room because of the climatic changes (it's unheated and uninsulated). But if you can do laminate in a basement, why not in such a room? He'd insulate the floor...
