How to Install Plywood Floors

You can learn how to install plywood floors from this article.


When you plan installing plywood floors, you should pay attention to several important things. Most of plywood floors are usually made from southern pine and varies from 5/8 to 3/4 inches thick. There are also sheets, which measure 4 foot by 8 foot. Through this article you can learn how to install plywood floors.

You need to prepare some things like plywood sheets, power saw, hammer, nails, measuring tape and patching compound.

First, you need to measure your room and determine how many sheets of plywood you need. If you don't want to have to halt the project because you ran out of supplies, you can check the stamp markings. The APA-approved plywood will have certain characteristics that set it apart. This is why you should look for the words "plugged cross bands" or "underlayment" stamped on the sheets. Also, if you want the face of the plywood to be fully sanded, remember not touch-sanded or plugged.

Second is looking for the exposure classification. You can find some plywood can handle limited subjection to exposure, while others can handle a wet environment. You need to take into account which room you're using the plywood in.

Third, you need to lay some plywood down onto the floor. This thing will help you determine which the direction it fits best.

Fourth, you can then glue and nail the plywood sheets to the floor joists and then make sure you drive the nails just below the plywood surface.

Fifth, you can measure and cut pieces down if necessary. And once you finish the main portion of the floor, you'll notice you need smaller pieces for the edges of the room.

Sixth, you need to patch all gaps and chips in the plywood using a patching compound. Once it is dry, sand it flat.

Last, you can fill the spaces between the plywood panels. Final touch, you need to sand and level them.
