I am installing a locking vinyl plank floor in my basement. I was advised to use Spycore sub floor without plywood or OSB. (This is the dimpled plastic product) I am a little hesitant due to the warnings and instruction from vinly plank installers cautioning about installing on a smooth surface. Does anyone know if installing Vinyl plank directly over Spycor is a good idea? Thank you for your help!
Framing the floor inside a crawlspace foundation keeps a gable-end addition close to grade.

I would be out of a job if everyone heeded this advice, but have you checked with the flooring manufacturer to see if that's an acceptable practice?
