Finishing Plywood Flooring

How to Finish Plywood Flooring


When it comes to finishing  plywood board, the best option is usually a dark stain and several coats of polyurethane clear finish will bring the plywood to a high luster. The best way to apply the stain is to have it brushed in or alternatively you can roll it in and then allow for the finish to dry and then  use a polyurethane coating.

Attaching  Plywood to the subfloor as with other underlayments use fasteners, which should each penetrate the underfloor (subfloor) by about 3/4's of an inch. This should not protrude into the subfloor if possible by more than 1/8 inches. If the underlayment is being installed through older floors, or floor coverings that have been there previously, then the depth of the floor covering should be considered before choosing the nail type to adfix the plywood to the subfloor.

Removing Vinyl Flooring from Plywood

Attaching Luan To Subfloor

Plywood  can be removed fairly easily. Just cut it into strips as long as there is no vinyl backing left. Getting all the staples removed or beat down is by far the hardest part.
If it's ran underneath the cabinets use a sharp razor knife and score it several times and it should break off pretty clean.
A lot of staples will have slivers of luan caught underneath you should either pull out or use needle nose pliers to remove the sliver then hammer then down flush. When you remove the luan don't want anything sticking up.
It's a good idea to refasten the subfloor onto the joist with screws or screw shank underlayment nails. You should see how flat it is too... may have to belt sand some seams.

Using Staples to Install Plywood Flooring

Using Staples to Install  Plywood (Stapling Plywood)



Install plywood with staples to the subfloor plywood using 1/2" staples. You should staple every 6 inches around the edges and every 8 inches at the centre of the plywood boarding. At this point you have the choice to make as to whether you wish to use glue to adfix the luan to the plywood subflooring.
 
Once this has been completed, you can sand all the seams so that they become level, and then any gaps or spaces, you can use high grade filler (wood) or otherwise, as recommended by the maker to finish the surface before installing top floor.
 
Make one more visiual scan to ensure that there are no staples sticking above the seams of the luan underlayment, as this will disrupt the surface of vinyl or laminate top flooring when it is installed or during use. Any staples, rising above this level, should be tapped on with a hammer until flush.

Applications for Thin Plywoods



 Indoor Use and Outdoor Use


Using plywood for building indoor projects a good choice is pine veneers. Pine Veneer is labelled sandypine, or BC. They not to expensive and are good for all your little household projects. You can even sand, smooth and finish this plywood to get that professional look.

Plywood for Marine Use

Marine ply is also going to have more plies than typical construction ply, you want to be on the look out for higher numbers, greater than 7 in my opinion. Marine ply is going to be lighter than ext ply and especially pressure treated ply. For your boat I would go with the Home Depot pressure treated varieties. Your best bet is to get 2 sheets of 3/4 pt ply, let them dry for a week, then glue them together.
