Need translations for plywood
I need to get some real 3/4" T&G plywood flooring, not OSB or wafer board. What is the word in Espanol for this so if I end up ordering by fax,
phone or e-mail I get the right stuff.

What's wrong with OSB flooring? Is it going to be exposed?

I'm covering it with a roofing product (Daco) that must go over plywood.

Grover: I saw that too but I know when I order T&G flooring from Meeks I have to be real clear if I don't want OSB and didn't want to make that
mistake with a language barrier.

i think the word is
(phonetically) tree-ply (y pronounced long i--just as in ply wood)
at least that's what i think it is. someone more knowledgeable will hopefully respond...
suerte.

They are called hojas de triplay, pronounced ohaas deh tree ply. I don't think anyone selling it will ever guess what T&G or OSB wafer is, no
clue.
It would be better if you walk into a hardware store with a sample.

My first job out of high school was at a lumber store. The guys had a bowling team and they were the St. Malo T & Gs (or was that Ts & Gs)?
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different
