plywood floor?

10 years ago

STILL in our remodel. We have a basement with 10 foot ceilings and floor to ceiling windows - so even though it is a basement, lots of light. My husband is talking about making a plywood plank floor. I'm skeptical - but I'm asking the experts! What do you think? It will be used as a rental unit.

Wood used below grade is usually not a good idea. Consider luxury vinyl plank for a reasonably priced floor.
