Creating Do It Yourself Veneers for Luan Panelling or Plywood
Most Veneers are created by layers of Luan Wood, to form a composite material. These veneers, which are glued together with adjacent plies, usually have their wood grain at right angles to each other. The alternation of the grain is called cross-graining and has several important benefits.
The reduction of the wood to split when nailed at the edges is one good benefit of the Luan Plywood Vaneers. This helps many do-it-yourself jobs, especially when you consider that most "do-it-yourself'ers" are doing these jobs for the first time.
When Installing Wood Veneers for Laminate or Vinyl Flooring
When you install your Luan vaneers, you should begin the project from the corner of the room. You work your way out of the corner with the Luan plywood, moving in a single direction or in a similar way that any subfloor materials have been laid.
You should make a space in that surrounding area of 1/16th of an inch from the walls and the plywood panels. Then use nails, or screws to insert 1/4 inch staples across the top of the Luan veneers at about 1/2 of a foot apart. Also insert more every couple of centimeters apart along the edge of the project. Install more Laun panels in a similar way, and then leave a gap in between those panels at about 1/16 of an inch between the boards.
