Redoing wood floor the proper way round two

[the brain]

"PS1-95" is the set of rules. Among the rules the suitability of plywoods to resist water damage are rated. Here's the difference between ratings of stuff that can be used outside...

Exposure 1 plywood
Plywood suitable for uses not permanently exposed to the weather. Panels classified as Exposure 1 are
intended to resist the effects of moisture on structural performance as may occur due to construction delays,
or other conditions of similar severity.

Exterior plywood
Plywood suitable for repeated wetting and redrying or long-term exposure to weather or other conditions of
similar severity.

This is what the different labels look like...



You can get this plywood anywhere, Lowes, Home Depot, local lumberyards etc in all sorts of grades AC, BC, BB etc and thicknesses but it needs the EXTERIOR stamp or rating and NOT the Exposure 1 rating.

You don't need this anyway, didn't you get a sheet of marine ply?
