The “Emerald Color-Matched” line also features a simplified lineup of face grades on the plywood side. To create continuity with plywood and lumber, Emerald plywood will offer 5 standard grades.
Plywood | Lumber |
Prime (A/AA) | |
Superior (B) | Superior (SUP) |
Rustic | Rustic (RUS) |
Premium Sound Tight Knot (STK) | Premium (PRE) |
CSB (1 back) |
The goal in unifying the grade names is to center Alder around a standard set of grade names, where the appearance of the plywood and lumber closely resemble one another and where buyers can specify them using a common, unified naming structure. “Emerald” plywood will be available with industry-standard book, slip, or plank-matched faces. Cores will be the standard veneer, composite, calibrated, and FiberPly cores with the flexible thickness and finish options Murphy Plywood is known for.
