I heard the glue in OSB is bad for radiant heated floors as it gives off VOC’s. Is CDX any better?
Do they use the same glues for OSB as CDX? What happens to those glues and other chemicals used in the processing of plywood when heat of 85 degrees F is applied to them?
I don’t see a problem using OSB. That is one of the sub floors that the manufacturers of the radiant heat recommends. I don’t know where you heard that the glues “and other chemicals” are a problem somehow, but it sounds like hogwash to me. Check the link. That particular one is actually made of OSB.
