Further to my questions about the insulation of a garden office, I'm also planning to install a wooden floor.
For cost reasons it'll be that "click" laminate stuff rather than real wood, and the room has is square, so the installation itself should be straight forward enough.
But my question is about whether I need a waterproof barrier underneath the flooring or not.
Most of the infor I've seen recommends a barrier should be used if you're installing the product on the ground floor or on a concrete floors, but I'm putting it on a wooden sub-floor which is suspended 2 or 3 inches above the ground.
There'll be a sound absorbing insulation under it, but do I need a vapour barrier as well?
I know the cost will be trivial, but I'm concerned it may actually trap condensation which would outherwise have evaporated and therefore it may do more harm than good.
Any advice?
