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.

You've been listening to "W" for too long! ;-)

Installating is perfectly correct, if you are specificating.
