semi-transparent floor
I guess this is a tough one....
I am thinking of make the most of two roof windows by letting the light coming from these through the ceiling into the second floor of a terrace house. At the moment I am considering using sheets of polycarbonate (triplewall 16mm) in the area just below the two windows. These sheets would cover an area of about 2m x 4m around the centre of the loft space while the rest will be covered with the usual chipboard. Ideally, the loft area should be usable...in the same way as if it was covered entirely by chipboard. I've already done a quick test and I am quite positive that the polycarbonate sheet will work just fine if not better than chipboard. However there are certain issues which I need to consider before moving forwards: The loft space will be used for studio recording and I want to avoid reflective surfaces as much as possible. I am thinking of using a sort of perforated carpet (made of seagrass or simialar) on top of the polycarbonate sheets. Where can I find such product or are there any viable alternative? Has anyone out there any experience in semi-transparent and non reflective floors? Any hint is very much appreciated, Thanks Alex |
