Piling of plywood on logs: step by step instruction
Step 1: preparation of plywood for installation on a wooden floor
After the plywood sheet has been bought in a building shop it is necessary to allow it to adapt indoors, in which construction work will be carried out. The fact is that the tree is a material whose spatial indices depend on the temperature and humidity indices of the room. Therefore, you should give the plywood that shape, which corresponds to the temperature regime of the room.
Step 2: Preparing the wooden floor before plywood

The logs are a wooden beam that forms the basis for the future flooring of plywood. They are laid on the floor perpendicular to the light emanating from the windows. Between the wall and the logs, leave a gap of about 25 mm.
Step 4: Preparation of logs
Each lag should be checked for consistency using a long ruler and level. If irregularities are detected, they must be removed by placing wooden lugs under the lugs.
