Carbon Black in the T-16-ST configuration is a deep saturated near-black panel from Europly's premium plywood line. The "T-16-ST" code indicates: T-grade face, 16mm thickness, ST (standard) edge profile. Built for cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and architectural millwork applications.
The T-Grade Face
The T-grade face designation indicates a higher-quality face finish than B-grade, with reduced visible imperfections and more consistent surface character. The result is a panel suited to display-front applications where the surface quality is visible at close range — cabinet doors, prominent drawer fronts, exposed shelving, and architectural feature millwork.

Best Application
Modern minimalist kitchens with substantial design intent, urban lofts and luxury condominiums, contemporary architectural remodels, and design-led commercial interiors (boutique retail, hospitality bars, design-led restaurants). The T-grade surface quality suits applications where the panel face is the primary visual element rather than supporting structural use.
Pairing Direction
Brushed brass, aged brass, and unlacquered brass hardware register beautifully against the deep dark base . The brass warmth contrasts the cool depth in a way that reads designed. Matte black hardware blends into the slab. For counters, white-veined quartz, soft Calacatta look-alikes, and warm cream marble all pair cleanly with the dark cabinetry.
Fabrication Notes
The 16mm thickness with T-grade face suits demanding cabinet applications where surface quality is paramount. Standard edge profile (ST) finishes the panel edges with the same Carbon Black surface treatment. Order a sample panel before specifying the full project to confirm grade quality under your actual lighting.
