1st things first. Must find that perfect floor (subfloor) or floor beneath the finished floor, or whatever it's called.
Nyloboard sounds like the thing, but I'd probably be paying a small fortune to get to my place. Any other highly recommended options available around BC?

Two Candian based companys that you might check with are:

I redid my subfloor using Polyboard from the first company. I was able to find a supplier local to Portland, Oregon that had it in stock. I don't know what is available in your local area or how far the factory might be but it could be worth checking. At the time that I redid my floor I paid $65 per sheet (US). I understand that the prices have gone up since then to around $85 per sheet. The material is more flexible and heavier than plywood but is definitely totally waterproof. It is not necessarily the right choice for everyone but I like it. It is cheaper than NyloBoard too although from what I have been reading here the NyloBoard seems like a great product if it is indeed as stiff as plywood. For more information about what I did with Polyboard check out the following thread:
Permant floor at a reasonable price?
I would be happy to answer any questions about the process. Also if you weld or have acess to inexpensive welding you could easily replace the aluminum stiffeners that I uses with strips of steel of some sort.
