I want to use the Marmoleum on a three season porch that is up on Sonotubes. The current substrate is plywood over which an old indoor/outdoor carpet had been laid. We will rip up the carpet and use the plywood underneath. Is there a concern about the fact that the porch is three season and open underneath by about a foot or so? The room is enclosed with large sliding glass doors. SAMPLE - Forbo Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc Seal, Cork Tree Waterproof Click - Floating

You will need to use Marmoleum glue down sheet goods https://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/All-Products/Sheet and not the Cinch Loc. �With the area not being temperature controlled on a normal basis, glue down�Marmoleum sheet goods�will be the way to go. You will just need to control the temperature for 7 days prior, all during, and 7 days post installation to allow the material to initially acclimate properly and then properly cure per the general installation instructions�.�https://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/core/media/media.nl?id=1305663&c=772072&h=1
a415bdfe7537d454bc3&_xt=.pdf (Areas to receive material should be clean, fully enclosed and weather tight. The permanent HVAC should be fully operational and controlled and set at a minimum temperature 65� F (18.3� C). If this is not possible, the areas should be acclimated and controlled by means of temporary HVAC to the service level conditions expected during occupancy. The temperature and humidity should range from 75� F � 10�F (23.9� C � 5.5� C) with a 50% � 10% ambient relative humidity. These conditions MUST be established at least seven days prior to beginning the installation, maintained during the installation, and continued for at least seven days following the installation. )� Anything else will be affected by the temperature difference and not being climate controlled.
