What is the last part of the floor frame process?

The last part of the floor frame process focuses on the installation of the subfloor. The subfloor serves as the foundational layer that provides support for the flooring material, ensuring stability and a level surface for subsequent layers. It is typically made from plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) and is critical for distributing weight and adding structural integrity to the overall floor system.

Once the subfloor is installed, it allows for the installation of various flooring types—such as carpet, tile, or hardwood—on top, which are the finishing touches in the flooring process. By being the penultimate step in preparation for the final floor covering, the subfloor effectively sets the stage for additional elements that contribute to the overall durability and usability of the floor.
