I was unsure what to use for the shed floor. I wanted something cheap, easy to lay and low maintenance. I guess all three was a tall order, yet the bamboo flooring I ended up with might just do. It was fairly cheap, looks good and was very easy to lay. The floor consists of 100mm non-foil Kingspan on a concrete base. A DPM (that runs to the ceiling with glued 1 metre overlaps where necessary. Over the DPM is 22mm TGV flooring chipboard. I used some thin underlay (not sure this was strictly necessary, then floated the bamboo over the top. Took me about 2 afternoons in total to do the floor. I’ve the skirting to finish, but for the moment, the shed is almost ready for action!
