Furniture plays a fundamental role in our lives, providing us with comfort, functionality, and a way to express our personal style. The selection process becomes crucial as we seek furniture that not only complements our spaces but also meets our specific needs.

There are many types of plywood products available; each catering to specific needs and use-case of our home interiors. It’s important to know the use-case of each plywood product to choose the right one for your furniture.

Two of the most important features one should keep in mind when buying plywood are: Fire-retardance and boiling waterproof. Fire-retardant plywood offers a crucial layer of protection by slowing down the spread of flames, providing us with invaluable peace of mind and safeguarding our properties from potential disasters. Among all other areas of our homes, plywood used in the kitchen should always be Fire-Retardant. 

On the other hand, boiling waterproof plywood ensures durability and longevity, making it an excellent choice for areas exposed to moisture, such as kitchens or bathrooms. By prioritising fire retardance and boiling waterproof features, we can confidently choose plywood that not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of our spaces but also guarantees safety, resilience, and long-lasting investment.

 

Common Yet Overlooked Plywood Parameters

 

Plywood, even when it fulfils a majority of our interior needs, is often an overlooked product. It not only adds aesthetic value to our interiors, but also adds longevity, strength and durability to our interiors. 

However, many consumers fall prey to common mistakes amidst the excitement of purchasing plywood. 

Here's what to watch out for:

 

The Curse of Incorrect Selection!

 

 

Don't let the sea of options overwhelm you. Choose the plywood that perfectly matches your needs and specifications. For instance, for moisture-prone areas, select boiling waterproof plywood of the highest standards. Greenply’s BWP plywood resists boiling water for upto 144 hours which is twice the resistance available in other BWP plywood in the market!

 

Structural Integrity Withstand the Load of Time!

 

For beds & cupboards, structural integrity is of paramount importance. 

For instance, Greenply’s Green Club 700 comes with a Structural Grade that’s certified as per IS: 10701. This becomes crucial for interior cabinets as it is determined by the adhesives used to bond thin sheets of veneers under heat and pressure. This construction technique results in a strong and stable material that can withstand heavy loads and resist warping or sagging over time. Such integrity is most recommended for cupboards & beds, structures that take a fair share of the daily load.

 

Go for Eco-friendly Options!

 

 

While the consumers are aware about the harmful effects of outdoor air pollution, indoor air pollution also affects our health and causes various problems. The bonding agent i.e. formaldehyde, used in the plywood products is responsible for toxic emissions. 

What separates Greenply's (E-0) Zero Emission plywood from the E-2 ones in improving indoor air quality?

Greenply has developed a resin after undergoing thorough research on the matter. This special resin emits 3mg of formalin in every 100 gms of plywood. This significantly reduces emissions down to nought. 

Toxic emissions from furniture can cause a range of issues from headaches and rashes to even shortness of breath. Given long-time exposure to such emissions can lead to debilitating lung conditions, Greenply's Zero Emission plywood was the need of the hour.

The E-O promise is certified by international bodies such as IGBC, GRIHA, CARB & EPA!

To sum up, high strength & durability coupled with useful features such as resistance to borers, termites, viruses & bacteria, no wonder Greenply plywoods emits only positivity you can count on.

 

Quality Matters

 

Don't compromise on quality. Ensure you're investing in plywood that meets the highest standards, providing strength, durability, and most importantly, warranty. Warranty is a testament to a product's quality and its longevity. Greenply Green Club 700 and 5 Hundred, both products come with a lifetime warranty. Greenply Green Platinum comes with a 30 year warranty. 

 

Research is Key

 

Arm yourself with knowledge. Don't rush into a purchase without conducting thorough research on plywood grades, types, and applications.

 

Essential Steps to Choosing the Best Plywood 

 

Furniture is the foundation of any interior space. The right balance between aesthetics & functionality can decide the space-to-elegance ratio. 

The following are the crucial steps that can help you decide the right fit for your spaces.

 

Choose the Ideal Type

 

Step one in your quest for the perfect plywood is selecting the ideal type that suits your needs. From the moisture-resistant BWP to the standard MR-grade, and even fire-retardant options, each type serves a specific purpose. Making the right choice ensures that you don't overspend on unnecessary features or compromise the quality of your work.

 

Thickness is Key

 

When it comes to selecting plywood, finding the right balance between affordability and quality is key. One crucial factor to consider is the thickness of the plywood. It's vital to ensure that the plywood you opt for is thick enough to offer the necessary support. A sturdy and well-supported foundation is essential for any project, whether it's building furniture or constructing a structure.

Greenply stands out from the crowd with its innovative Penta (5) Technology, boasting not one, but two faces on each side of the plywood. But that's not all. With a thicker face veneer, this plywood undergoes an extra pressing process to guarantee unrivalled strength and precision. What truly sets it apart is the impressive 15-layer construction for the 19mm thickness (and an extra two layers for other thicknesses), contributing to its extraordinary durability.

 

The Core is Crucial

 

Solid wood cores reign supreme, boasting unparalleled durability and resilience, making them a perfect fit for robust furniture and sturdy structures. However, the regal qualities of solid wood cores often come with a princely price tag. 

For those seeking a more budget-friendly alternative, composite cores crafted from MDF or particleboard can step into the spotlight, albeit with a slightly lighter load-bearing capacity. As a shining example, Greenply proudly presents its 100% Composed Core, a plywood marvel that banishes overlap and core gaps, ensuring a rock-solid foundation for your projects.
