Floor sheathing not T&G
Floor sheathing not T&G
(OP)
Repairing an existing floor that has carpet glued directly to a single layer of 9/16" sheathing that does not have tongue and groove edges. We will be specifying a thin set underlayment product be used to cover the sheathing but are still concerned about the unsupported joints. We cannot install blocking or clips because of existing circumstances and wondered if there was a clip that could be installed from the top surface. Or has anyone use fiber mesh tape in the thin set to reinforce these a joints?

Hope you are not planning on tiling this floor. NOT thick enough.

Additionally consider using latex modified thin set and grout as they allows more movement before cracking.
