3/4 solid hardwood over gyp-crete?

Nov 18, 2006 3 Replies

do i need to screw down 5/8 or 3/4 ply over the gyp-crete? The gyp-crete is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. The gyp-crete is laid over a



3/4 inch OSB sub floor.

thanks for any help.



What are you trying to do?

5/8 ply is normaly glued and screwed to OBS flooring then use to adhire tile to. you can adhire tile to gyp-crete

I am trying to install 3/4 inch solid hardwood flooring.. but if i nail directly to the gypcrete then the nails would bend and/or the gypcrete would crack all up. should i screw ply to the gypcrete then nail the

3/4 solid hardwood planks to the ply? thank you.

I would remove the gypcrete.
