I was planning similar, but then realized I would preventing heat from getting to the slab and potentially get movement in the winter, I should have done a frost wall?

?As a follow up on flooring solutions, I'm currently working out of a ~750sf detached garage with a concrete slab in good condition, heated with a forced air furnace in one corner. I agree with Jason Holtz that working on concrete is not my favorite experience, and I've been contemplating installing a layer of AdvanTech over the slab. My intention would be to:
-- Install (thickness TBD) AdvanTech on floor:
? ? ?-- I would defer to Huber as to whether I'd need a vapor retarder between concrete slab and AdvanTech.
? ? ?-- I would entertain the idea of installing sleepers between the slab and AdvanTech. In this case, I'd be looking at something like 1/2" sleepers, just something to allow air movement and give the floor a little "spring". Sleepers to be 6" or 8" OC, running perpendicular to axis of strength of the AdvanTech
? ? ?-- My proposed fastening schedule would be to fasten each sheet with 1x GripCon in each corner to start with. The intention here is to allow a small amount of "spring" to the floor. To my way of thinking, this should not adversely affect equipment...?
-- Prepare appropriate temporary ramp so I can roll equipment up onto the new floor surface, which would now be ~1" taller than the rest of the driveway.?
The above is something I've been musing about for awhile, just haven't sorted out the details. Curious if I'm overlooking anything glaringly obvious.?
