1-1/2" Gypsum pour weighs approx. 14lbs/sq. ft. 3/4" plywood or osb is fine for a 16oc. subfloor.

    Does anyone know the load rate for a 1 1/2" gypcrete pour?

    Also, is there any problem pouring over 3/4" OSB as opposed to 3/4" CDX Plywood?

    Thanks,
    Ray

    If my memory serves me well...

    1-1/2" of gyp weighs 14.5 pounds per square foot. Check with the gyp people about OSB. Try these guys -- my experience with them has been very good, and they know their stuff:

    Just had one poured .....

    ....and it does weigh 14 to 15 lbs per square. They now pour in just one 1.5" lift instead of two .75".

    When I did my house Ray, my general bumped up my floor trusses to the next sixe. 14" instead of 11". Same standard 3/4" OSB sub floor he uses on all his jobs. Gybcrete guys were fine with that and everything worked perfect!
