Installation:

• Storage: Store flat in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Acclimatization: Allow the plywood to acclimatize to the environment where it will be installed for at least 48 hours before use. This helps to minimize any movement or distortion after fixing.
• Subfloor Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is level, dry, and free from debris before installation.
• Cutting: Use a sharp saw blade (circular saw, jigsaw, or hand saw) to cut the plywood to the desired size. Score the surface before cutting to achieve a cleaner edge.
• Fixing: Fix the plywood to the joists using appropriate nails or screws, ensuring they are suitable for the joist material and spacing. Follow recommended fixing patterns for optimal performance.
• Joist Spacing: Refer to relevant building codes and manufacturer’s guidelines for appropriate joist spacing based on the plywood thickness and intended load.
• Underlayment: If using the plywood as an underlayment, choose an appropriate underlayment material that is compatible with the chosen floor covering. Follow the underlayment manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

Technical Considerations:

• Moisture Sensitivity: Although manufactured with moisture-resistant adhesive, prolonged exposure to moisture can affect the performance of the plywood. Avoid using in areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact.
• Load-Bearing Capacity: The load-bearing capacity of the plywood depends on its thickness, joist spacing, and the type of floor covering. Refer to relevant building codes and manufacturer’s guidelines for specific load-bearing limitations.
• Span Ratings: Span ratings indicate the maximum distance the plywood can span between supports without excessive deflection. Consult the manufacturer’s literature for specific span rating information.   

Health and Safety:

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, eye protection, and a dust mask, when handling and cutting plywood.
• Plywood can produce dust when cut or sanded. Use appropriate dust extraction equipment and respiratory protection to minimise dust inhalation.  
• Dispose of any waste material responsibly in accordance with local regulations.
