I've searched quite a bit and not finding much. I recently purchased the marmalite (sp?) westy-match floor covering from the UK. I just don't know what to put under it.

1/4 plywood? I assume I'd have to lay multiple pieces down as its wider than 48".

Any advice? Thank you.

Baltic Birch comes in 60" x 60" sheets, 1/4" would be the thinnest I'd consider using.

5x5 baltic birch is what you need.
