What is BB/BB Grade?

BB is a high quality grade, which shows the natural look of the wood, such as the changes in colour and grain pattern. Smooth knots are allowed and these will typically be under 50mm in diameter. There may be open knots on the surface that have been filled in with wooden plugs.

BB/BB plywood has BB grade wood layers on both sides.
