Laminate Floor Pad

North side of house three-season porch enclose insulated floor over
crawl space. Crawl space has a moisture barrier on the dirt. My
primary concern is occasional rain on the floor and the sound this
type of flooring makes. ¾-4-8 bead board is $3.80 per sheet and seems
like a cost effective solution for a pad. It will cost me 1" of
headroom. What other problems will I have? thanks

This may depend upon your climate but...If your floor is uninsulated
and the porch is unheated then you many run into problems with too
much expanding and contracting. If exposed to rain then prompt
cleanup would be required. They always suggest prompt clean ups with
that type of flooring since the finish is not continuous.

Standing water is not good for laminate, even its occasional.
