What Is B Grade Plywood?

B grade veneer faces have a high quality finish, however small sound knots and other minor timber defects may occur. Features using B grade plywood can be painted, stained or lacquered to stunning effect. B grade is well-suited to situations where the natural look of the wood grain will enhance the design or where the surface area is to be finished with paint.

What Is C Grade Plywood?

When the veneer quality is C grade, it’s best used for non-decorative surfaces. C grade plywood generally contains knots, defects and filler and splits and although these have been filled, the appearance is still affected. Plywood with a C grade veneer face is used when a solid surface is needed on non-visual elements.

What about the back?

The back veneer is graded using the same criteria as the face, and the grades can be different from front to back. For example, an AB graded sheet would have an A grade face and a B grade back, a CD refers to plywood with a C grade front and D grade back, and so on.
