    Sorry about this I just need a quick answer to maybe a rather stupid question.
    Am levelling floor dowstairs with 6mm plywood sheets, the thing is do I need to leave an expansion gap between the sheets, and if so how much?

    Plywood is stable because of it's makeup with laminations cross grained to eachother.
    No expansion gap should be necessary.

    This may seem a very stupid question which I forgot to add but I was going to use 3/4' annular ring nails.
    Does this sound like sense?
    If I'm wrong then what do I use, and I apologise now for asking such an inane question.

    whats going on to of the ply

    the chances are you need to countersinc screws

    if you need a flush top

    ring shanks are high resistance to pull out
    difficult to get below the surface
