Basement OSB Subfloor Video
VIDEO SUMMARY
A typical basement floor is just concrete, which is a tough surface to work with. Need a wood subfloor to make that basement remodeling project easier? Install these OSB squares designed for installing over concrete. They have a special plastic mat backing to help drain water. The squares interlock with a tongue and groove for easy installation.
Most basement floors are not level. No problem with this product. There are special leveling shims that snap right onto the backing. Add as many spacers as required to level the floor.
This provides a great subfloor to help your basement remodeling. Cover it with carpeting, tiles or any other finished floor surface.

My house is a "stairless ranch" which means I don't have a basement and the
foundation of my house is a concrete slab. I want to put down new
flooring. Would OSB Subfloor tiles be a good idea to install? Would they
help insulate the floor?
Thank you for your help.

I used this in my basement and love it. I used the Dricore brand. However,
the video says you can put tile over it. Dricore says "Ideal for carpet or
floating floors such as laminate or floating engineered hardwood flooring."
They do not recommend tile. I personally used carpet for two rooms, and
laminate for the bath, hallway, and game room.

What is the product name used for this subfloor? It looks to be less
expensive than the DRIcore and Barricade products that I've already
discovered.

I think this is an older video showing Dricore Version 1. The current
Dricore moved away from the circles for more airflow.
