Do it Yourself: Re: [DIY] Re: Insulating a shed floor?

Re: [DIY] Re: Insulating a shed floor?

The shed is being put in by the Home Depot builders, floor and all..., over our concrete slab.

We are trying to get this building up off the ground to achieve more height so we can make an enclosed corridor between the two structures.

There is 8' between the trailer and the shed. The shed will be a *hobby-room* as the trailer is a single wide and would have a hard time holding my hobby paraphernalia.

This is becoming more interesting by the day.

Hi Carmen;

Why don't you put the laminate (or a vinyl plank flooring)
directly ove the slab? (usung a laminate floor underlayment)
Look at the manufacturer's installation instructions.
