Material ending in “Z” (non-domestic manufacture) has a different tongue and groove profile. For this reason, it should not be installed with “A” or “EE” suffix material.
Material ending in “A” or “EE” indicates domestic manufacture. Do not install with the “Z” suffix material.
Items with “EE” ending code are manufactured with Densitek core instead of a plywood core. The fit and appearance are unchanged. The Densitek and “A” suffix plywood core products can be mixed in the same installation.
*Indicates molding item is discontinued.
