I just read a really neat article about someone putting 1/4" plywood down on their subfloor, routing "boards" into it, and painting/varnishing the heck out of it and it looked like a really cool old plank floor. Until I can afford REAL flooring, I'd like to do something like that. I have OSB subfloors, or I'd just rout my subfloor.
I just priced it at my local big-box store. 1/4" ply is $13 a sheet right now. Luaun is $9. The luaun says "sanded hardwood top". Does that mean the luaun is hardwood and will hold up longer?? I'd like to rout the board outlines, and then used different hues of stains on each board to make it appear more like planking. Then clear poly over the top - several times.
Do you think the luaun would work????
