flooring for a converted screened porch
I built a 16×16 screened porch with cathedral ceiling on my house with the idea of eventually installing windows and insulating it for year round use. I have access from below, so I can insulate under the floor and then close up below with PT plywood or t&g siding. I have 1×4 mahogany decking running across my p.t. joists, and I’m looking for ideas about finishing off the floor without having to remove this as the exterior walls are built on it. I suppose I could lay t&g flooring over the mahogany and install thresholds at the doors. Or add a layer of 3/4 plywood and tile it??? Hmmmmm. Guidance requested.

Just indoor/outdoor carpet works well. Blocks air flow and warms the floor. Can be layed without glue -- just install trim around the edges to hold the edges down.
Below, install fiberglass batts, then garden fabric, then hardware cloth. Isn't great insulation, but is "drip dry".
For the windows, use Monray WindowWalls.
