WHy so thick a subfloor? 1/2" is closer to what most of us would have
expected.- Hide quoted text -


Thick subfloor? Most 'standard' subfloors around here consist of 2x4
sleepers laid flat + 5/8 plywood.
The subfloor is 1/2" extruded (high-density) styrofoam + 5/8 OSB.
Sold in 2'x2' T&G pieces here in Canada.

The basement measures 92" from concrete floor to ceiling joists, so
I'm trying to reduce my height loss while simultaneously insulating
the area.
