1&1/8 (T&G?) plywood for subf…

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
Anyone know the allowable spans permitted when using 1&1/8 T&G plywood for second-floor (40 psf) subflooring? Is this product available with “A-C” grade surfaces, thus offering potential for exposed beam application…”A” side down, that is? Further, is the material available as a beaded material?

Thanx,
Brian

    You might want to try emailing tech services at teh American Plywood Association - http://www.apawood.org. They responded to a question of mine within hours.

    I don't believe you'll find this beaded, however.

      *1-1/8" T&G Sturdi-floor will span 4 feet...not sure about alternative finishes.
