Phenol faced plywood is not manufactured or offered as a decorative panel. We only recommend specifying for industrial / light industrial and utility applications.
As this is intended for industrial applications, minor visual defects (rippling, blemishes, overlaps, scratches) are permitted in the grading rules.
Phenol film is not UV fast and the colour will change over time.
