2" X 6" TONGUE AND
GROOVE SUBFLOORS
This type of sub-floor is used often where the
builder wanted more strength and a solid floor.
Often these heavier subfloors will be used over
beam construction where the distance between
beams is so great that the more rigid 2" x
6" is needed. The tongue and groove
configuration is instrumental in helping the
sheathing maintain rigidity, in that, the
"tongue" (which runs the full length
of the board) of one board is inserted into the
groove of the other board. The inspector will
not routinely report "squeaks" and
"pops" in wood floors.
