I am going to replace a section of the kitchen floor with plywood (the
floorboards are quite badly damaged) and I'm a bit confused as to the
different types available.

I know that WBP = water and boilproof, but what is the difference
between marine grade and exterior grade?

Would birch plywood be suitable for flooring?

TIA

Exterior is WBP - marine is much more expensive and you probably don't
need it unless you're making a boat.

If it's WBP :-)

If they were exposed then yes. They will be covered with vinyl and
then when I get round to replacing all the cupboards I will probably
use ceramic tiles.
