The Mission: Put Plyneer Club to the Ultimate Test
To prove the real-world strength of Plyneer Club plywood, we designed a head-to-head field test—pitting it against standard commercial and BWR-grade plywood in high-moisture conditions that mimic what Indian homes face during monsoons or plumbing issues.
The Test Setup
| Detail | Specification |
|---|---|
| Plywood Sheets Tested | Plyneer Club (18mm), BWR Grade (18mm), Commercial Ply (18mm) |
| Exposure Conditions | Submerged edges in standing water for 72 hours |
| Environment | Controlled humidity (85–90%) & 35°C temp |
| Additional Stress | Steam exposure + surface wipe test |
| Evaluation Points | Swelling, warping, delamination, fungus growth |
Results: 72-Hour Water Exposure Test
| Feature | Commercial Ply | BWR Grade | Plyneer Club |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swelling | Visible within 6 hrs | Slight after 24 hrs | ❌ No swelling after 72 hrs |
| Warping | Panels bent significantly | Minor bend | ❌ Completely flat |
| Delamination | Edge glue failure | Slight bubble | ❌ Surface and core intact |
| Fungus Growth | Black mold by Day 3 | Beginning of spots | ❌ Zero growth |
| Surface Finish | Peeling began | Dull spots appeared | ✅ Smooth and undamaged |
| Nail Holding Strength | Loosened at edges | Slight hold loss | ✅ Strong grip retained |
