How to protect against sweating on my small porch?
by
Shelia
I have a small porch that is inclosed on 3 sides. I’m thinking about completely walking in the porch to be used as a closet. It has a cement floor and my concern is sweating and how to protect the carpet once installed. How do I prepare the cement for carpet ? I live in east Texas so lots of humidity. My partially inclosed carport sweats constantly so I’m afraid this will happen to the new closet. Thanks !

Hi Sheila, First insulate the floor and walls and line them with Cladding of some sort.. Make a sort of Duck Board for the floor that you can walk on. Then add Rails or Hooks for your clothes. If you get the chance add a window or small extractor fan.
You need to place a vapor barrier under the carpet to hold the moisture down.
