through to applications where aesthetics is not a consideration and structural performance alone is therequirement. Other non-standard face veneer qualities are permitted under AS/NZS 2269.Note:Panels with A, S, B, and C faces are sanded smooth, D grade faces may be unsanded asthey are typically used in structural, non-aesthetic applications. Hence, there will beknot holes, splits, gum pockets, etc.2.6 Specifying Structural Plywood GradesStructural plywood face veneer qualities can be specified to suit the appropriate application, forexample, where one face is required to meet a specific requirement and the back will not be visible. This istypical for plywood flooring which may require a quality C solid face, but in most applications, a quality Dback veneer will suffice. The structural plywood is specified with the required face veneer quality firstfollowed by the back veneer quality e.g. CD. A guide for selecting suitable grades for various uses is shownin TABLE 2.1. Availability of the higher face grades should be checked before specifying.Grade Description and Suggested Uses Face BackAAABAC, ADBBBC, BDCCCDDDUsed where the appearance of both faces is important. Boats,signs, cabinetsFor uses similar to AA panels, but where the appearance of oneside is less importantUse where the appearance of only one side is important. Featurewalls, soffits, furnitureUses where high quality paint finish is required both sides.Hoardings, furnitureUsed where a high quality paint finish is required one side andthe appearance of the other side is not important.

Veneer Quality AVeneer quality A describes a high quality appearance grade veneersuitable for clear finishing. This appearance grade quality should bespecified as a face veneer for plywood where surface decorativeappearance is a primary consideration in addition to structuralperformance and reliability.Veneer Quality SVeneer quality S defines an appearance grade veneer whichpermits natural characteristics as a decorative feature, subjectto agreement. The type and frequency of the natural characteristicsthat are acceptable is to be based on a written specification,acceptable to both the manufacturer and the purchaser.Veneer Quality BVeneer quality B is an appearance grade veneer with limitedpermitted amounts of sound inter-grown knots and filled splitsand holes. Plywood with a quality B face is suitable for high qualitypaint finishing.Veneer Quality CVeneer quality C is defined as a non-appearance grade with asolid surface. All open defects such as holes or splits are filled.Plywood with a quality C face is intended specifically for applicationsrequiring a solid non decorative surface such as in plywood flooringwhich is to be covered with carpet or other flooring overlays.Veneer Quality DVeneer quality D is defined as a non-appearance grade withpermitted open imperfections. Unfilled holes up to 75 mm wideare permitted in Veneer Quality D. Plywood manufactured with aquality D face has the lowest appearance grade of structuralplywood under the Standard. It is designed specifically forapplications where decorative appearance is not a requirement andstructural performance is the prime consideration. Structuralplywood bracing is such an application.8
