I’ve constantly been fascinated by alternative flooring components, and a single of my favorites is plywood. Yes… you heard appropriately… plywood flooring. I am not speaking about some fancy, gourmet, exotic variety of plywood that fees as significantly as mahogany. Just ván ép , garden-assortment plywood utilised as a flooring surface. Don’t be put off by the look of plywood in its raw type (as you see at the residence improvement retailer). Plywood can be transformed just like any other wood item can, so the number of alternatives is only restricted by your imagination.
Plywood has been a staple in building for eons, and is quite typically utilised as a sub-flooring for other, additional pricey materials. But, plywood makes an perfect flooring material on its personal for quite a few reasons: it is cheap, readily offered, tough, and relatively straightforward to work with. It can be painted, stained, or sealed just like any other wood. But, unlike planked wood flooring, because it comes in significant sheets it can be cut to any size you opt for. The possibilities are actually endless!
Here are just a couple of tips for plywood flooring:
• Cut typical plywood sheets in half. Stain them a selection of shades, such as light browns, dark browns, ash, deep reds, and even greens. Arrange them in an alternating, or “running brick” pattern for a distinctive patchwork impact! (See instance)
• Paint or stain them in a checkerboard pattern.
• Paint or stain them white, then sand them down for a “shabby chic” appear
• Just seal them with a gloss sealer for a clean, modern day look.
• Cut them into planks and install them to appear like regular wood flooring. Stain them your favorite wood colour to simulate a higher-end exotic wood floor.
• Cut them in wide planks and stain them very, really dark for a very modern, urban look.

In her blog “Study Between Styles” from 2012, April James posted some terrific photographs of a project she worked on for a studio applying plywood flooring. I like the colors she chose, they seriously suite the space, and the stairs turned out wonderful!
