| Abstract | This report documents a series of bench- and intermediate-scale fire experiments that were conducted on flooring materials and floor assemblies. The primary objective was to provide fire test data for subfloor materials used in Canadian houses. The particular emphasis was on oriented strandboard (OSB) panels used for subfloors to provide data for selecting an OSB subfloor material for use in the full-scale experiments. The emphasis was on OSB as it is representative of subfloor materials typically used in single-family residential applications. In addition, a limited number of experiments were conducted with othermaterials including a plywood subfloor panel, plywood underlay, residential carpet and carpet underpad. |
