At Native Woodcraft, we use CD-grade plywood for our panel products. This means the plywood has a C-grade face and a D-grade back, with permitted defects as per industry standards.

Understanding Plywood Grades

Plywood veneers are graded from A (top clear grade) to D (lowest grade). Here’s an overview:

A Grade: High-quality face, ideal for clear finishing.

B Grade: Suitable for painting.

S Grade: Selected quality, equal to or better than B grade, and also suitable for painting.

C Grade: Non-appearance grade with a solid, functional face, not meant to look attractive.

D Grade: Low appearance grade with permitted defects.

PG Grade: Non-structural, unsanded, and rough, for packing purposes.

Grade Combinations

The face grade is always listed first when denoting plywood grades:

AA: Two A-grade faces.

AD: A-grade face with a D-grade back.

BB: Two B-grade faces.

CD: C-grade face with a D-grade back.

DD: Two D-grade faces.
