Plywood is divided into various grades according to its quality and look. The usual ones are A, B, C and D, the A grade being the best of all, while the D grade is the poorest. Plywood that has an A grade will show a smooth surface without any defects, making it perfect for uses that can be seen, such as furniture or cupboards in your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plywood graded as Grade B might possess some small faults yet it is still fitting for painted or veneered work. Grades C and D are less visually pleasing and usually employed structurally or where they will not be seen much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plywood can be found in different thicknesses, usually measured by 1\/8 inch. Typical widths are 1\/4 inch, 3\/8 inch, 1\/2 inch, 5\/8 inch and finally 3\/4 inches. The choice of thickness is based on the strength and stability you need for your project. Usually, thicker plywood is stronger and less likely to bend. This type is good for uses that require bearing weight. Thinner plywood is lighter and more flexible, which makes it suitable for applications like drawer bottoms or cabinet backs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
