How do you choose the best ply for floor?
“Interior,” “exterior,” “structural” and “marine” are classifications of plywood. Interior plywood is ideal for rooms not exposed to moisture, such as bedrooms, and makes a good subfloor for carpeting, tiles, vinyl, engineered wood laminate flooring and hardwood flooring. Exterior plywood is a better choice for bathrooms, kitchens and any other rooms exposed to water and moisture. Structural plywood is good for rooms with heavy furniture or high traffic, such as living rooms, dining rooms and entryways. Marine plywood is the strongest and most water-resistant type of plywood, making it a good choice for bathrooms and basements.
Different types of ply for floor
1. CDX
CDX plywood is the most common plywood used for subflooring. It is usually more affordable because it is rougher and has more imperfections than other types of plywood. However, since subflooring is almost always covered and rarely visible, the way it looks should not matter. Many contractors and homeowners find CDX sheet plywood to be a good way to save money without compromising the quality of a job.
2. Tongue-and-Groove
Like any tongue-and-groove flooring, tongue-and-groove subflooring is composed of boards that fit snugly together by fitting one edge with a protruding ridge into a groove in the board next to it. While installation can take longer and is more expensive than sheet plywood, tongue-and-groove plywood is a popular option because boards fit tightly together and may be glued.
3. Marine Plywood
Marine-grade plywood is a premium quality plywood made of hardwoods. It is strong, lightweight, and has no defects, such as voids within the layers that other types of plywood are prone to. Marine plywood is pressure-treated, and layers are affixed together with waterproof glue, so it holds its strength and shape even when exposed to moisture and heat.
