What's the difference between AA & A face grades?
There are only two veneer face grades to choose from today for wood veneer doors: ‘A’ or ‘AA’. These grades are adopted from the HPVA panel veneer grading tables and refer to the veneer character allowed and size of the components being used in the overall door face.
The table shows the major differences and considerations.

It’s important to note that you can specify premium grade construction with an ‘A’ face grade.
Construction Grade & Face Grade are two separate sections within an industry standard and you should specify each to clearly show the design intent for your project.
In most commercial building projects, face grade ‘A’ is the recommended standard. Reserving ‘AA’ for projects where the highest degree of aesthetics are required (such as executive board rooms, courtrooms, and other high-end projects or spaces).
