Has anyone used birch ply as flooring? I'm planning on using full sheets in my upcoming studio build. It'll be laid on top of UFH heating mat, 5mm underlay, SIP panel (18mm OSB). As the price of this stuff is creeping up and up I'm wondering if I can get away with 12mm rather than 18.

Are you going to varnish/lacquer? If not it'll get mucky quite quickly. The veneer is thin and does wear through depending on the traffic. I worked in an office that had raised ply flooring, with a decent clear lacquer on it, but wheelie office chairs wore through it in a couple of years.
