How Is Plywood Flooring Used?
As A Subfloor: Plywood for subflooring usually comes in interlocking sheets (i.e., with interlocking tongues and grooves). When installed directly on top of the joists of a floor’s framing system, it forms a secure base for the finished floor layer that will be laid on top of it. A Plywood subfloor can support many types of floor finishes or coverings, including carpets, laminates, bamboo, and hardwood.
As Underlayment: Depending on what kind of floor you’re creating, you may need an underlayment on top of the subfloor. This optional layer provides a stiffer, smoother surface for the final top layer to rest on. It can also act as an extra moisture or sound barrier. For this, you can use Plywood as well.
As A Finished Flooring System: You can install Plywood as the finish or “covering” on top of an existing subfloor. (And yes, you can have Plywood flooring over a Plywood subfloor.) You can cut Plywood into planks or special shapes and lay them in whatever pattern you prefer. Some Plywood flooring designs even mimic traditional wood parquet floors or mosaics.
What Is Plywood Flooring?
Plywood is a composite building material. It’s made of several thin sheets of wood veneer or “plies.” These are produced by a machine that rotates harvested wood logs and peels them off.
Each veneer sheet or ply is first rotated to a different angle before bonded to another sheet with strong adhesive. Then it’s all compressed under heat into a much denser material.
That method creates what’s called “cross-graining.” By compressing veneers at different angles, Plywood manufacturers can reinforce the material with wood grains that run perpendicular to one another. This reduces the Plywood’s tendency to split, warp, expand, or contract.
Moreover, Plywood manufacturers often use better-quality veneers for the outer layers. The lower-quality inner layers create a separation between the outer layers on each side of the panel. If any stress strikes one outer layer, less of the force gets transferred to the other side. This makes Plywood even more resistant to bending.
All these characteristics make Plywood durable and flexible enough for either structural applications or as a decorative finish.
This is also why it makes an excellent alternative to expensive hardwood floors.

Dust-Free Technology:
We use advanced dust-extraction systems that capture airborne particles directly at the source. This significantly reduces fine dust, helps maintain a healthier indoor environment, and saves you time on post-removal cleaning—especially in enclosed residential spaces.
Over 35+ Years of Experience:
With decades of industry experience, our specialists understand every type of plywood installation, including glue-down plywood sheets, stapled boards, and older nailed-down systems. We remove each with precision while protecting your timber or concrete subfloor beneath.
Fully Licensed and Insured:
Carpet Removal Sydney holds all required licenses and insurance, ensuring every project is completed safely, professionally, and in full compliance with Australian construction and renovation standards.
Complete Floor Preparation Services:
We provide more than just plywood floor removal. Our services also include Concrete Grinding, adhesive removal, and floor levelling. This ensures your surface is perfectly prepared for the installation of new flooring—including tiles, vinyl planks, carpet, epoxy, hybrid flooring, or polished concrete systems.
Competitive Rates + Price Beat Guarantee:
We believe in delivering excellent value. If you receive a written quote from another contractor, we’ll beat it by up to 10%, allowing you to get premium work at the best price in Sydney.
Focus On Customer Satisfaction:
Our mission is to achieve outstanding results on every project. We provide clear communication, respect your space, and ensure your removal is completed on time, on budget, and to a professional standard you can rely on.
Advanced Tools & Equipment:
We use commercial-grade removal tools, industrial vacuum systems, and specialised plywood floor lifting equipment designed to minimise disruption, reduce dust, and prevent damage.
Customised Plywood Floor Removal Solutions:
Every project is unique. That’s why we tailor our removal process to suit your plywood floor thickness, adhesive type, subfloor material, and property requirements—ensuring the best possible outcome from start to finish.
Our Plywood Flooring Removal Process
At Carpet Removal Sydney, we follow a proven and highly efficient plywood flooring removal process that delivers exceptional results with minimal disruption to your property. Every stage is carefully designed to ensure safety, precision, and a clean, ready-to-install surface for your next flooring system.
Initial Assessment:
Our specialists begin with a detailed inspection of your existing plywood flooring to determine the installation method, thickness, adhesive type, fasteners, and condition of the underlying subfloor. This allows us to plan the safest and most effective removal strategy while identifying any potential challenges before work begins.
Property Protection & Preparation:
We take every precaution to safeguard your home, business, or renovation area. Furniture and fixtures are carefully moved or fully protected, and we use advanced dust-containment systems to prevent airborne particles from spreading throughout your property during removal.
Dust-Free Plywood Removal:
Using commercial-grade removal tools and vacuum-assisted machinery, our technicians efficiently lift and remove all plywood systems — including glue-down plywood, stapled plywood, sheeted subfloors, and underlay substrates — while avoiding unnecessary damage to the timber or concrete surface underneath.
Adhesive & Residue Elimination:
After the plywood sheets have been removed, we mechanically remove any remaining adhesive, screws, nails, or subfloor residue. This ensures your subfloor is left smooth, clean, and properly prepared for the successful installation of new flooring products.
Final Cleanup and Inspection:
Once removal and preparation are complete, our team carries out a detailed cleanup and final inspection to ensure the surface meets our high professional standards. You’re left with a spotless and professionally prepared subfloor—ready for tiles, carpet, vinyl, hybrids, epoxy coatings, or polished concrete.
What Are The Different Installation Used For Plywood Floors?
Plywood flooring systems can be installed in a variety of ways depending on sheet thickness, property age, subfloor material, and the flooring type that was originally installed above it. Each installation method requires a different removal approach, which is why plywood flooring should only be removed by trained professionals using the correct tools and techniques.
Below are the most common installation methods used for plywood floors throughout Sydney:
Glue-Down Plywood Sheets:
– Many plywood floors are directly glued to concrete slabs or timber subfloors using strong flooring adhesives. These systems generally require mechanical lifting, adhesive stripping, and concrete grinding to fully remove all residue during demolition.
Stapled or Nailed Plywood:
– Older plywood floors are commonly secured using thousands of nails or staples. Removing these systems requires specialised processes to avoid damage to the structural subfloor or underlying concrete.
Plywood Underlay Beneath Existing Flooring:
– In many residential and commercial properties, plywood sheets are installed beneath carpet, vinyl, timber, laminate or parquetry flooring. When the top flooring is removed, the plywood underlay must also be stripped to properly expose and prepare the underlying substrate before new flooring can be installed.
Is Our Plywood Floor Removal Service In Sydney Really Dust-Free?
Yes, we provide Dust-Free plywood floor removal services. We utilise powerful dust extractors and vacuum-equipped tools, connected to our jackhammers, scrapers, and grinders, to capture debris at the source, significantly reducing or even eliminating dust in the air compared to traditional methods.
Is Concrete Grinding Required After Plywood Flooring Removal?
Yes, if you have a CONCRETE subfloor, your plywood floor MAY be glued down. Once our team has removed your plywood floor, you may see a glue residue that will need to be ground off your concrete using a Concrete Grinder. We need to grind your concrete to remove any remaining residue to allow the successful reinstallation of a new flooring system, coating, or floor levelling compound.
How Long Does Plywood Floor Removal Take?
The duration of plywood floor removal varies depending on several key factors, but most projects take anywhere from a few hours to several days. Larger or more complex areas may take up to one or two weeks, especially in older properties where plywood has been installed beneath multiple layers of flooring or adhered using heavy-duty glue systems.
Smaller residential areas—such as a single room, hallway, or apartment—can often be completed within a day, while large commercial spaces or multi-storey buildings may require additional time due to access restrictions, adhesive thickness, and subfloor conditions.
The Total Removal Time Depends On:
Size of the Area:
Larger flooring areas require more time to lift plywood sheets, remove adhesive, and clean the concrete or timber surface beneath.
Installation Method:
Glue-down plywood, stapled sheets and nailed systems generally take longer to remove than lightly bonded or floating subfloor materials.
Subfloor Condition:
If the subfloor contains adhesive residue, nails, screws, staples or secondary underlay layers, additional preparation time is required to create a smooth and ready surface.
Access and Furniture:
Heavy furniture, tight spaces, and multi-level access points may slow the removal process and extend project duration.
Waste Disposal:
The responsible removal, handling, and environmental disposal of plywood sheets, adhesives, and subfloor materials also contribute to total project time.
At Carpet Removal Sydney, our professional plywood floor removal specialists use industrial dust-control equipment to complete removal safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption—leaving your subfloor professionally prepared for your next flooring installation.
