Premium appearance and durability
Marine plywood manufactured to the Australian standard AS/NZS 2272 is regarded as the highest plywood grade available. Marine plywood conforming to the standard uses only “A” grade veneers from a designated marine species (i.e. Araucaria – hoop pine) and has an “A” bond glue system.
A versatile appearance grade plywood
Austral Premium Exterior is a high quality Hoop Pine plywood manufactured with a high grade face and a lesser grade back. Primarily used for walls and ceilings, exterior plywood is also suitable for semi-exposed applications, if finished correctly. Fully exposed applications such as wall cladding are not recommended.
A lighter and brighter appearance panel
Austral Premium Interior is manufactured with 100% Hoop Pine and is intended for use in non-structural, interior applications where a high quality aesthetic finish is required. Typical applications include internal wall panelling, furniture and fitments, interior door skins and ceiling linings. Interior plywood must not be used in exposed, wet or damp conditions.
Appearance grade plywood with more natural characteristics
Austral Premium Structural is a cost-effective and versatile exterior grade appearance plywood, manufactured with a “B” face and back. It is very popular in marine applications, shop fitting & cabinet making. A full Hoop Pine construction makes for a very stable plywood, and the closed grain veneer produces a superb paint finish. Overall, it is an extremely workable and tool friendly panel.
