Subfloor thickness for hardwood

9 years ago

Hey everyone, are there any subfloor experts out there? We are going to be installing hardwood in our bedroom, after taking out a wall.

It looks like there is currently a tongue and grove subfloor, maybe a half inch thick(could be 5/8). If we put a layer of 1/2 inch plywood on top, will that make for a sturdy subfloor? or maybe 5/8 is better?


The picture is before the old 1/4 subfloor was torn out.


Thanks for your help!
