Why not go with underfloor heating and have a solid cement floor over the osb ?.

Our reclaimed teak downstairs prevents underfloor heating, so it's radiators both upstairs and down. It's currently at concrete subfloor downstairs with the parquet in it's future, and osb upstairs, with whatever cheap wood floor we can find. Not massively interested in bare cement floors in the bedrooms.

If the problem is budget, then I still say paint, then do each room as you really want when you have the cash.

 

Problem with temporary solutions which are too good is they stay for too long.

I’m great at fixing stuff with whatever’s within arm’s reach. Guess how often I do the full fix. My entire life is the bungee cord on the chipper throttle.

In the days when Exchange and Mart was an actual publication, and before it all went onto t'internet, I bought an old church floor for a couple of hundred quid. 

 I got a few boot loads of exotic hardwood parquet flooring when the parish hall flooded, the tar they had been glued with certainly went up well as fire starters.

All the worktops in the science block in my old school were mahogany shame they all got ripped out and skipped  to be replaced with formica.
