Hi:
I am building an office out of a porch room that is on a cement slab. My contrctor will put josts down and then plywood subfloor on the slab to bring the level, approx, 4.5 in. with adjacent room. I'm putting the hardwood floors down. My question is do I need some additional moisture barrier because I am going to be over a cement slab. For example polyurethane sheets and insulation for heat.
thanks for your advice,
Kevin
