Our cabin floors are 12mm ply sheeting supported on framing. The framing generally runs longitudinally, and in high use areas it has been doubled. The floors are flat, and at a height so that they run right through to both ends of the hull without turning up.
The sheets were sanded, stained a deep red, and varnished, before being grooved with the router, and the grooves filled with epoxy to create the effect of separate boards. Another benefit of this grooving process is that the floor in each cabin can be made from a number of narrower pieces, with the groove hiding the join (if you are careful with the location of the joint).
