                    Answer This Question

                    A:  Matt, if you are using the attic for storage and not a living space, you can use 1/2" OSB. If you are using the attic for living space, then we recommend using 19/32" or 23/32" subfloors or the thickness your local code official requires.

                      Answer This Question

                      A:  A professional tile installer told me to use 3/4" exterior glue plywood under Hardy Board for ceramic or stone tile. You don't want the subfloor to flex or absorb moisture.
