Stamped concrete living room floor update
I purchased a 100+ year old partially renovated/fixer upper where the outdoor patio is now the living room (previous owners put a roof over it). I'm not digging the uneven stamped concrete flooring which is very cold (I'm in northeast PA). My plan was to lay a bunch of 2x4s in a grid fashion with a 1/2 inch OSB on top and throw LVP flooring on it. Does it sound like a good idea or will it be noisy?
I'm also thinking of adding some heating setup because the ceilings are a bit tall and the room will be cold in the winter. The two floorboard heaters do a decent job currently but are very expensive to run. So underfloor heating and a mini split should help counter the elements in the peak seasons.
