I'm planning on putting down 1/2" OSB sub-floor directly on my concrete basement floor. My question is how to secure it? I have been told to simply use masonry nails with a baby-sledge, but have read a lot about using tapcon screws...

Can I use the masonry nails and be secure or should I go another route?

The OSB will just fall apart in a few months. What are you planning on intalling over it?
