I am replacing carpeting with about 350 s/f of natural 18"sq, 1/2" stone. Currently have Potlatch OSB Sturd-I-floor, exposure 1, 23/32 subfloor on 24 OC trusses with a 9ft max span of a total 30 span that terminates midway through a dining/living room where a hallway intersects. (No load bearing wall under the termination point).
My hopes are that I can get by with adding 3/8' ply and 1/4' CB as I have 1 1/4" total to work with before interfering with the front door. If not, I will have to make due with just the entry and hallway as they are supported underneath.
Any advice would be appreciated!
thank you so much.

Installation of any stone floor tile requires TWO layers of subfloor. The base-layer can be OSB however the second layer should be quality plywood. In this case 3/8" plywood (underlayment grade) should suffice.

It is the (trusses) and the (24" on center) spacing of the trusses that would be in question. I don't have those span-tables handy but in my experience what you have there translates into a workable process.

If it were me I would go for it and feel comfortable with the installation.

Little late, but The TCNA-handbook does not recognize 24” on center.
