Trying to Determine the Best type of Luan Plywood to use can be a bit of a challange. - Don't just pick up any piece of plywood. Make sure that the plywood you use it the right type for the job your looking at doing (underlayment) There is Resilent Plywood for Vinyl Flooring, and then you're using 1/4 inch exterior grade AC Plywood. Make sure that the plywood is smooth and the smooth side should be facing up.
For Wood Flooring 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch plywood exterior grade is best. There is no need to choose a grading here since smoothness is not an issue.
Where to buy Luan Plywood:
Luan Plywood is available at stores such as Lowes and Home Depot, in various sizes from ¼ to 1/8 and it usually found in the woodcraft aisle in store. You may have to ask someone to assist you with finding it, if it is not readily accessible at first glance when you arrive in the store. If you go to Lowes or Home Depot you may also find MDF board available in similar sizes such as ¼ to 1/8 . Luan plywood is relatively cheap to buy and its also a great multipurpose underlayment for floors as well as smaller hardware projects around the home.
