4x8x1/2 AC Plywood refers to a sheet of plywood with the following specifications:
- Dimensions: 4 feet by 8 feet (standard plywood sheet size)
- Thickness: 1/2 inch
- Grade: AC
- A Grade (Front Face): The "A" side is the highest quality side of the plywood, typically smooth and free of knots or defects. It's suitable for applications where the plywood will be visible and needs a nice finish.
- C Grade (Back Face): The "C" side is of lower quality, with potential knots, voids, or patches. It is often used in situations where this side will not be visible or the appearance isn't a concern.
Applications: AC plywood is commonly used in construction, cabinetry, furniture making, and other projects where one side needs to have a clean, smooth surface, such as for painting or finishing. The 1/2-inch thickness is suitable for moderate structural applications, like wall sheathing, underlayment, or shelving.
