Sorry lost the thread,

Nick you may find that the astroturf may begin to offgas in a super  
hot sunspace as you have described. The stink of hot astroturffed  
petroleum plastic goo stinking up your house may not be appealing. At  
least not to me. I don't like the stuff from a chemical composition  
perspective. Could you lay down a roll of untreated cork instead? It  
can handle temperature and moisture variations that the space would  
throw at it, as long as whatever is underneath isn't soggy.
