What type of plywood
should be used for
flooring?

Plywood is made from thin sheets of wood/veneers layered together, compressed, and bonded.
Plywood sheets are available in various thicknesses in different strengths according to the
needs of the particular project. Although they often come in a standard size of 4-foot by 8-foot
plywood panels, they can also be ordered in customized sizes. Plywood sheets can be used for
any residential or commercial building project.
The high-quality plywood sheets featuring a solid wood face can also be used for building
cabinets, decks, and wood stairs. There are two different types of plywood sheets, regular and
subfloor plywood. Subfloor plywood is preferred for residential floor construction. It features

tongue-and-groove edges that add more support and are quite durable. However, it is preferred
not to use plywood flooring as finished flooring as it is not as durable.

T & G Plywood for flooring are the best sheets because the tongue-and-groove plywood panels
are easier to install. Moreover, it prevents the edges of the plywood from shifting and squeaking
after insulation. However, these panels may need to be laminated if you want to install them as
finish flooring. Laminating floors will prevent the flooring from damages by spilled milk or
splashed water. The plywood made of oak, walnut, or cherry is considered to be the most
durable for flooring and subflooring. It resists moisture better than standard plywood.

Classifications of plywood
The plywood sheets are available in various grades, including A, B, C, D, and X grade plywood.
Grade A plywood is considered to be the highest quality panels as they are free from any tiny
knots and defects. Furthermore, you may also need to consider many other factors when
selecting the plywood material. Thus, plywood can be further classified in various categories
depending on its purpose, such as interior, exterior, structural or marine plywood.

Interior plywood is ideal for bedrooms, drawing rooms, and other rooms which are not exposed
to moisture. On the other hand, exterior plywood is a better choice for bathrooms, kitchens,
and other rooms which may experience exposure to water and humidity. Structural plywood is
mostly used for heavy furniture or high traffic rooms, such as living rooms and dining rooms.
Marine plywood is the strongest and highly water-resistant, making it the ideal choice for
bathrooms and basements.
