| Application | Application 1: Minimum thickness and material for subfloors supporting
wood strip finished flooring that is 19 mm thick or greater and
is installed at right angles to joists spaced not more than 600 mm o.c.,
in wood-frame constructions to which Section 9.23. applies
[see Sentence 9.23.1.1.(1) for application of Section 9.23.].

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of an inappropriate grade or thickness
of subflooring relative to joist spacing, which could lead to inadequate stiffness
or strength, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads,
which could lead to the excessive deflection of subfloors, which could lead
to an uneven walking surface, which could lead to persons tripping or falling,
which could lead to harm to persons. |
