![]() P.S. If Mattamy offers Bruce & Mirage, definetely choose Mirage vs. Bruce. Slightly more expensive but a lot better quality. ![]() |

But in reality, there is nothing to worry about running the hardwood with the joists without the extra subfloor thickness. If installed properly, you won't have a problem with it at all. |

![]() There is nothing wrong without installing the extra sub-floor thickness but all depends on the length of the room & span of the joists. The longer the room, the more chances of floor flactuation. Also is your house constructed with TJI or 2x10 floor joists? Sure you can install it anyway you like if you are doing it yourself.....but a reputable contractor will or should not. ![]() |

When you say increase the subfloor thickness do you mean having the thicker subfloor installed as an option through the builder (most builders don't offer the option) or laying down new sheets on top of the builders subfloor? Doing it afterwards you'll have larger transitions and possible issues with staircase nosing height, baseboard heights and door casings.
