Flooring for outdoor screened in deck area?

by Elainew54

Planning on building a screened in area with drop down louvers over the screen panels on an existing deck which is not insulated under the deck floor. Wondering what the best flooring would be to use for insulation and wearability. Would like to use wood/laminate flooring, but not sure how it will react in an area that is not heated all the time. Don't want bubbling or mold.

    Couldn't access your entire comment. For some reason most of the time I can't see past the ... The choices are endless. Indoor/outdoor carpeting, porcelain or wood tiles, brick, pavers, concrete pad (scored, stained or plain), pressure treated decking, slate, Travertine tile, composite decking.

    Since the area is not insulated and you live in NH I really do not think laminate would work. I would use Indoor/Outdoor Carpet. Porcelain Tile, with an outdoor rug on top or Wooden Deck Tiles. Ikea has a great selection of wood deck tiles.

    No flooring provides any insulating factor. Carpet would be best, but if your deck is wood moisture and temp changes can ruin the wood over time.
