Would appreciate any comments, insight, watch-outs, experiences or war stories in regard to installating resilient flooring [i.e., VCT] over fire-treated plywood. Any resources or specific product advise or information? Thanks much! |

The obvious answer: Check with the floor covering adhesive manufacturers for compatiblity tests. Avoid the issue altogether: Install a 1/4" - 3/8" GIS plywood cover board over the FRT plywood. |

Installating is perfectly correct, if you are specificating. |
