Contact the manufacturer and see what they have to say. Only their
response will be the one that matters.


ts of "floating" solid vinyl flooring out there, as well as
perimeter glued - but OSB has enough "texture" to it that it could
"telegraph" through and show. As said - check with the manufacturer of
the new flooring. Possibly, with a new floating floor, just a layer of
the very thin high density foam used as an underlay for laminate would
do the job???


I get the 'contact manufacturer' thing...


Then you should be set.


My rooms came with sheet vinyl over OSB.
It was installed in the plant; no brand name given.


This has absolutely nothing to do with the product you said you were
think about using, vinyl plank flooring.




Due to very low door frames, I can't put down thick plywood and then
flooring. I might be able to do 1/4" ply but some floating floors come
with a pre-attached underlayment that could make it too thick. Only
thing under the carpeting is typical carpet foam over OSB.


There are simple ways with dealing with door jams, that is a common item
that has to be addressed with new floors.




Thanks for the replies.
