For generations, wood has stood the test of time as the backbone of India's building and furniture industry. Despite the emergence of modern materials such as steel, aluminium, and plastic, wood reigns supreme with its unparalleled qualities. Its innate durability and sturdiness add an effortless allure to any living space, exuding a timeless charm that never goes out of style. And while plywood has long been a trusted wood-based product, it has undergone a myriad of innovative adaptations to suit the changing needs of both builders and homeowners alike. With science and technology leading the way, the plywood industry has ushered in a new era of exceptional variants, from the Boiling Waterproof and Marine Grades to Structural and Virus Proof Plywood. The latest addition to this lineup is the Fire Retardant Plywood, truly a testament to the versatility and adaptability of wood as a building material.
Opt for Boiling Waterproof (BWP) Plywood The material used to create BWP plywood is made of BWP resin, which has a good level of moisture resistance and is ideal for use in kitchens where moisture levels are frequently high. It is advisable to build the cabinets using boiling waterproof (BWP) plywood. For complete protection of your furniture made with the utmost care, Greenply offers premium boiling waterproof plywood in the Green Club 700, Green Club 5 Hundred, Green Platinum, and Green Gold series. Where Can You Apply Waterproof Plywood at Your Home? There are three places at your home that come in frequent contact with water. They are- a) kitchen, b) bathroom and c) living room. This is where you put BWP Plywood into use. Kitchen - Be it water from the basins or vapour/steam from the food, building the kitchen base unit from BWP Plywood will ensure that it does not get exposed to high contents of moisture and water and cause delamination. But it's not just the kitchen base unit that needs BWP Plywood. The kitchen cabinetry, loft, wall units, under-basin storage, etc. should also be made with BWP Plywood as they too come in maximum contact with water. Since the BWP Plywood comes with specific chemically treated preservatives, it keeps the termites and borers at bay. Furthermore, there are some BWP Plywood that comes with fire-retardant properties that delay fire and reduce the emission of toxic fumes. This makes it even more ideal for kitchen use as it is a place more prone to fire outbreaks. Bathroom - What if we tell you that wooden decor and interiors can work perfectly well for your bathrooms? It might come as a shock as wood does have a tendency to bend with high exposure to water But not BWP Plywood. According to the studies carried out by the Bureau of Indian Standards, BWP Plywood is bend-proof along with being highly durable and comes with anti-bacterial properties. This is because the bending capacity of good plywood should not be more than 18mm and BWP Plywood has a bending capacity of less than 18mm. Remember, that since the BWP plywood adheres to IS 710 category according to Indian standards, it can bear 72 hours of boiling water at high temperatures without delamination or any sort of wear and tear. Upon comparison, Green Platinum has passed the 144-hour boiling water test, making it 2x waterproof. Usually, the majority of living rooms in India still use plywood to build their interiors with. This includes doors, wooden frames, shelves, etc. But sometimes, especially during monsoons, water tends to enter from the door passages or seep inside via the outer pipes or wall cracks. Regular plywood will warp and cup on exposure to water. The convex side of the plywood appears to be slightly larger than the other side or warped as it soaks up more moisture. Whereas the concave side gets cupped as it soaks up less moisture. This is why you need BWP Plywood. According to scientific lab tests, the BWP Plywood is tested through stress-relieving treatment and comes with anti-warping properties that make it dimensionally stable during dry and wet conditions. Green Platinum - Making Your Homes 2X Advanced and Protected Greenply has launched Green Platinum which comes with PEN Technology. The PEN Technology which comes at zero additional cost helps to delay the fire from spreading the fire through different layers of plywood. This makes the plywood 2x fire-resistant as it delays the spread of fire 2 times more than any other regular plywood. It delays the fire by 90 minutes when compared to any other fire retardant plywood. Apart from this, it is 2X waterproof as it has successfully passed the 144-hour Boiling Water Test as opposed to regular waterproof or marine grade plywood that has just passed the72 hour boiling water test. Not only this, it comes with a 2x money-back guarantee against any manufacturing defects with up to 30 years of warranty. No wonder Green Platinum is dubbed as the Plywood backed by Science. Green Platinum plywood also comes loaded with other features such as E-0 emission, Virashield protection (antibacterial and antiviral coating), anti-termite guarantee, borer and fungus proof, CARB certification, unextended BWP resin etc.
