Spent the last couple of weeks converting my shed/outhouse into a room for my PC/Tele/Games Console basically a lads pad out the way of the house. Anyway it's single layer brick and iv'e insulated and plasterboarded it. Now i'm onto the flooring and was wondering what best to do with it.
Its a concrete floor at present but was going to carpet it so what should i lay down before the carpet. Seen some polystyrene 25mm thick in B and Q was gonna lay that down and then some plyboard or just lay 18mm ply staight onto concrete floor to take chill off it any better suggestions would be welcome. Iv'e put a PVC door in and iv'e got about 30mm depth to play with because of the lip around door frame

Hi Duzzer, I too have an outhouse that is being used as a mini kitchen, chest freezer cupboards that sort of thing. I have done the same with the walls, insulation and plasterboard and now face a similar problem to you. I was thinking of raising the floor with timber battens, insulating then using chipboard and the carpet.

The problem I have is that the outhouse is attached to the kitchen and is not heated so everytime the door is opened the heat enters the room and causes condensation on the concrete floor as it is a cold spot.

Hope someone can help......
 
I've done mine now that's what ive done in the end i used 25mm battens then used 25mm polystyrene board from b and q which is for flooring and then used them pack of 3 chipboard flooring which is for lofts and screwed them to the battens forgot to add that i drilled the battens to the concete floor cost about £100 for area 2.5m x 2.5m worked fine hope you have luck with your's
