My shop floor is by my best estimation MDO. It has a smooth surface like MDF, but it's definetly plywood underneath. It's possible it could be a thin MDF over plywood.
It hasn't been a problem except it's ugly and there's one spot where the top surface has eroded exposing plywood layers below. Primarily it's ugly. I want to cover it with something and I've been seeing some cheap laminate come down to near my target price/foot.
Under the shop, as best I can tell, isn't insulated. At some point I may brave furry/slimy woodland creatures and put some bat up. I do not know if the floor is a heat sink. What I need to figure out is this: what to fill the hole with, and if I should put anything over the MDO/MDF before I put anything down.
Keep in mind I'm purposely going for some of the cheapest stuff I can find, because I don't know how well it will hold up in an unconditioned space. How well will it hold up?
