Shed Flooring - Possible?

Question

What goes into flooring for a shed? and for painting/spray painting the walls (wooden). I have laminate flooring left over from my kitchen indoors that I would like to use for my shed - is this possible and what would be necessary to do this?

All depends on what type of shed you have or what is your shed e.g concrete pad or but personally if it’s mdf laminate I wouldn’t risk it as if any sort of water gets to it it’ll swell up and could possibly ruin the floor

As long as shed base is prepared properly ie if it’s concrete floor you must put down a DPM  , if it’s wood base then I wouldn’t advise laminate

Terry · Answer

Concreate base and if you want to put a laminate 
Floor down make sure you put some DPM down first before laying concrete

Louis · Answer

First you need a DPM sheet on the ground to protect from damp.
Secondly you need 5mm insulation.
Then you can lay a floating floor on top.

It is possible for laminate to go into the shed but also you have got to think of weather conditions so u would need batons going across from one side of the shed to the other to allot a subframe and they will need to be drilled into the concrete and also would need insulation and mdf boards to go over the top and then u will be able to have laminate flooring on top of that

Hi I’m Paul @ PR Flooring - It is definitely possible to laminate your shed floor, using a moisture protection underlay would be the ideal solution as long as the shed has a concrete base. As for the painting/spraying of the shed walls and door, this is something we also offer through my other company PR Coatings. These are both very straight forward tasks for most professionals. Kind regards

Laminate will just explode due to the moisture.. best bet is to ply the floor then cover with vinyl
