I have been granted long term use of a stable /livestock shelter that I can convert to a workshop.
The floor is substantial concrete but has no dpc.
The damp causes condensation to drip from the tin roof on a humid day.
The obvious ideal would be to dig up the floor and start again with a membrane down but thats too involved for my timescale at the moment.
A membrane and a thin screed would be the next alternative however the ceiling hight is already on the limit of usability so I dont need any more elevation.
What to do?
I thought about a bitumen paint then some cheap ceramic floortiles that I already have.
Or bitumen, battens and flooring chipboard,maybe with some 1/2" foil kingspan-cellotex underneath
Prerequisites are low cost readily available materials that have a low profile.
Any advance on that?
