Hello,
I'm in the process of building a conservatory from Willab Garden. The conservatory is in their winter class, meaning it is better/best insulated. However, Willab Garden states that regardless of class, a conservatory should be considered a room where moisture can enter. Therefore, they advise against using parquet flooring or regular chipboard flooring, as it risks getting moisture damage/rising.
Willab Garden recommends building the conservatory on a concrete slab and then laying tiles inside. This, of course, would be 100% moisture resistant. However, we are building our conservatory on an existing deck, about 1m above the ground. From the floor joists down 30 cm, I am insulating with polystyrene, leaving about 70 cm of air gap under the insulation towards the ground.
However, above the floor joists, what type of flooring board should I/one use that is suitable for a conservatory/is moisture resistant? I've visited various hardware stores and asked, but haven't received any good answers.
Tips are gratefully received!

Sorry for not being completely clear. So, I plan to possibly lay foam on top of this floorboard and then some form of parquet-like/vinyl flooring. For example, this one:

So the subfloor will not be visible. Composite decking is an idea that might work, but won't it be expensive to have this as a subfloor?

Hello,
I have taken a closer look at so-called moisture-resistant flooring chipboards, like these:

Could these be suitable?
