Title: Interior wall covers, Luan......
Post by: grantgoold on March 30, 2009, 08:59:36 PM
I need to begin interior in anticipation of my cabinets. I have seen a 4x8 sheet of a 1/8 inch Honey Birch plywood. I have also seen a 4x8 sheet of stainable Luan plywood 1/8 inch.  What do you think?

What have you used to adhere the plywood or Luan to a 3/4 inch OSB interior sheet covered with 15lb felt.

Ideas, suggestions....


Thanks

Grant

I used 3/4" Birch covered furniture grade plywood for all my cabinets-which has worked well since 3/4" takes a whole less amount of space then 2x2 with dry wall on it.  I also used 1/8" birch covered plywood for the refrigerator door coverings to match my cabinets. My walls are 1/4" construction grade plywood screwed to the 1x2 fir strips that are screwed to the metal frame of the bus.  I then glued a cloth wall covering (actually outdoor carpeting-very thin-doesn't look like carpeting) to the plywood.  Then, I can easily take off the plywood for access to whatever I want in the future.  Good Luck, TomC

i thought i have read that 3/8 should be the least amount used so the bus would not twistTOM have you had any trouble with that 1/4 inch would save on money and weight.
