Plywood grading can be tricky to understand, and if you\u2019re not a contractor you probably find the different grades as easy to understand as Egyptian hieroglyphics. Not to worry though, I\u2019ll break this down in a way that anyone can understand, so you\u2019ll have a solid understanding of BCX plywood and how plywood grading works.<\/p>\n

There is a wide array of different plywood products available, so picking the right one for your project can be a challenge. BCX plywood is an extremely common plywood variant used for all types of exterior and interior applications.<\/p>\n

To break it down into simple terms: the \u2018B\u2019 grade refers to the smooth face side, the \u2018C\u2019 grade refers to the rough \u2018back\u2019 side, and the X refers to exterior glue used to bind the veneers together.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at the differences between different plywood grades, and how to select the right one for your project and budget.<\/p>\n
