DRICORE sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out. There is an old drain on the outside wall, so I don't think that would be an issue.

Yeah, sounds like trying to get it level is going to be a lot more work. I think if I can raise it up a little higher than it currently is, I can have a cleaner looking threshold at least.

This sounds like the way to go, thank you so much for the suggestion! Going to look into this more.

Thanks for the heads-up! Yeah, this isn't a tiny room so it might be out of the question for the scope of work I can take on at the moment. I like the idea of the cement board!

Yeah, that's a good consideration! I think I'll try to only raise it slighly with, concrete board or some cork, like some of the other suggestions. Takes the pressure off of trying to level it perfectly and maybe I can still have a cleaner looking threshold than the current toe-destroyer.

Thanks! That's incredibly helpful, I hadn't considered self-leveling cement. We were originally talking about a floating floor so I guess I was stuck on that idea.
So the self-leveling cement should bring the whole floor up to near-level with the rest of the house (minus the thickness of the cork and laminate)?

Thanks for the heads-up! I don't think it's ever dropped below 65, but I'll have to check our temperature sensor history to make sure. It's an old enclosed brick porch under the roof of the house and has AC/Heat, so it's pretty well insulated.
