Not really garage related, (well maybe it is as some of the work I will be doing will be in the garage in effort to finish this project)
We are in the process of making our once covered front porch into a 4 season room.
It is completely enclosed, insulated and under roof-
We do plan to heat it in the winter.
Im unsure about what to do for the flooring- im not much of a carpenter or builder, I can do most things but I'm not a professional at any of it and my knowledge is very limited when it comes to structures like this and building materials.
It is currently decked with 2x10 boards on 2x6 joists on 16 centers anchored to 4x4 treated posts and to the exterior wall of the house
I would like to do ceramic tile with electric floor heat.
I know ceramic is really picky when it comes to a floor flexing- I'm not sure if this will be sturdy enough or not and I also don't know if the floor being pretty much uninsulated underneath will be a problem.
I plan to put some sort of vapor barrier between the decking and cement board- we have sealed the cracks between the deck boards with expanding spray foam to try to help a little.
Im basically fishing for advice because I would hate to go through all of the effort of putting down 300 square foot of ceramic tile only to have it crack up on me.
Any advice, constructive criticism, etc. would be greatly appreciated
