Hi All,
Does anyone have any recommendations for a flooring material for a three seasons room. I’d like to stay with a natural wood material as much as possible. The floor is going to be insulated. The walls and roof won’t be but the space will be completely enclosed and weather tight.
Thanks for your help!!
The code requires installing an approved material to slow the spread of fire between floors and adjacent vertical and horizontal cavities — here are the allowed materials and required locations.

Depends upon where you live, I guess. Our three season porch in Wisconsin has a Wilsonart tiled floor, free floating, and we love it. It's good about what we track in during the winter, it's easy to keep clean, and it has a natural stone look. Our walls are cedar, so also having a wood look on the floor might have been a bit much. The ceiling also vaults to twelve feet, so there's a lot of cedar. I'd recommend looking at that alternative to wood before deciding.
I got carpeting in mine.
