  • Build up subfloor – plywood, OSB, particle board?

    Posted by RUSSELL S on September 8, 2022 at 6:40 pm

    I’m just beginning my project to install vinyl plank throughout my ground floor. The current floor covering is carpet over pad in the living areas with sheet vinyl over a combination of 1/2″ plywood and particle board in the kitchen, dining room, laundry and bathroom.

    First question – am I better off installing 1/2″ sheeting in the carpeted areas to bring it level with the vinyl areas since several door casings are already cut to that level?

    Question 2 – is it ok with OSB or am I better off with plywood?

    I will forward my blueprint drawing later after I’ve finished leveling and preparing the subfloor.

    Thanks so much for all your help!
