FAQs

Common types include commercial plywood, marine plywood, BWR (boiling water resistant), BWP (boiling waterproof), and MR (moisture-resistant) plywood.

BWR plywood is water-resistant, while BWP plywood is waterproof and more suitable for long-term exposure to moisture or water.

Marine plywood is a premium-grade waterproof plywood made with high-quality hardwood veneers and phenolic resins, ideal for wet or coastal conditions.

Plywood is graded based on quality and finish ? common grades include A (best), B, C, and D. "AA" grade indicates premium on both sides.

Plywood sheets are typically available in thicknesses from 3mm to 25mm, depending on application and structural needs.

BWP or marine-grade plywood is best for high-durability furniture, while MR plywood can be used for low-moisture areas like living rooms and bedrooms.

Not all plywood is termite-resistant. You should opt for termite-treated or specially laminated plywood for protection against pests.

Yes, plywood can be painted, laminated, veneered, or finished with acrylic or PVC depending on the aesthetic and durability requirements.

Plywood is more stable and cost-effective than solid wood. It resists warping and is easier to work with for modular furniture and interiors.

Calibrated plywood is machine-pressed to achieve uniform thickness, ideal for modular furniture, CNC cutting, and premium finishes.

Common adhesives include urea formaldehyde (for MR plywood) and phenol formaldehyde (for BWP/marine plywood), which influence water resistance.

Plywood made from sustainably sourced timber and low-emission adhesives can be considered eco-friendly compared to plastic-based boards.

Check for ISI marks (IS:303, IS:710), even layers, strong bonding, no core gaps, and resistance to water and termites.

Yes, BWP or marine-grade plywood is ideal for kitchen cabinets due to its moisture and heat resistance.

Marine plywood or BWP plywood should be used in bathrooms as they can withstand high humidity and occasional water contact.

High-quality plywood furniture can last over 15?25 years with proper care, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

Lower-grade plywood may warp if not properly sealed or if exposed to moisture. High-quality plywood resists warping.

Standard plywood is not fireproof, but fire-retardant variants are available for specific commercial or residential applications.

Most commonly, plywood comes in 8ft x 4ft (2440mm x 1220mm) sheets, though custom sizes are also available.
