Q: What do you suggest as flooring for a screened in porch? It does get wetness from rain and wind.
A: Any time you plan to put some form of flooring outdoors where mother nature can send its full fury at the surface, you must look into something built for the temperature changes, moisture shifts, etc.
If you want the appearance of wood, look into decking, such as the deck tile made by Vifah. Now if you are not quite as concerned with a wood look, this does open your options a bit more, but you still need to find a product which is approved for outdoor use or is, at the very least, 100% moisture resistant. This means look into something like a composite floor or a vinyl which is suited for outdoor use.
A final alternative here would be to use tile or stone flooring. Patterned concrete is another good option in this sense as it is generally cheaper than stone or tile and can get some very nice looks.
In the end here, personal taste will have to be suited with products which are actually able to be installed in an outdoor setting. The easiest choice would likely be something like the Vifah outdoor deck tiles or similar decking, but you can do quite a bit with stone, tile and vinyl as well.
