Hi,
When I converted my backyard deck(lean to house) into a 4 season sun
room, I replaced decking with a ready made floor panel sections
sandwiched with R-30 foam core. This was installed on top of joists.
Then directly Armstrong vinyl flooring roll was put down.
I believe this foam core comes in various thickness for your needs.
