I cannot find a vendor who will sell this product. Where is it found so we can purchase?

[@jacke1129]

why the wood strapping? couldn't you just lay down foam boards, tape the seams and then install osb boards directly on top? Seems like an added step that's a lot of work that doesn't add much. I'll stand corrected if I'm mistaken.

[@anthonys7534]

Probably because the foamboard would compress at each anchor point

[@PaperCut2UGaming]

do you even need the board or could vinyl go right over top?

Exactly, lay straight onto floor and layer two sheet of OSB staggered so that the seems do not lineup on top of the Durofoam. Screw and glue the two sheets of OSB together and install flooring of choice. It's called a floating floor.

That wood around the perimeter does not look treated it's directly on concrete and will rot. Either use treated wood or put a vapor barrier underneath it. smh

They installed the vapor barrier first then the wood.
