Plywood Expansion Gap for Kitchen Island
Hello,
I am redesigning my kitchen island to be larger. I will be demo'ing the current drywall walls and putting in a new frame followed by plywood walls that I will then add shiplap to. I have ready about 1/8 spacing for plywood walls but this rule primarily seems to pertain to the actual walls of the home. Would an 1/8 " spacing be recommended even for a kitchen island to take into account expansion? Would MDF be a better choice for material?
