Why ISI:710 Grade Plywood Is a Must for Kitchens and Bathrooms

What Is ISI:710?

ISI:710 is the Indian Standard code for Boiling Waterproof (BWP) grade plywood.
It’s tested and certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to withstand:

Boiling water (for up to 72 hours)
High humidity
Termite and fungus attacks
Delamination, swelling, and surface warping

It is the gold standard plywood for wet and high-moisture areas — which makes it essential for kitchens and bathrooms.

Why Kitchens and Bathrooms Need ISI:710 Plywood

These two spaces face the harshest conditions in any home:

Area	Common Risks	What Happens Without ISI:710
Kitchens	Steam, heat, oil splashes, sink leakage	Swelling, surface bubbling, bending
Bathrooms	Daily water use, humid air, wet floors	Delamination, foul smell, fungal growth

What Makes ISI:710 Special?

Feature	ISI:710 Performance
Waterproofing	Survives 72-hour boiling water test
Glue Used	Phenol Formaldehyde (PF) resin – heat and moisture resistant
Core Material	High-density hardwood (e.g., eucalyptus)
Pest Resistance	Resists termite, borer, and fungus
Durability	15–25 years (with brands like Plyneer Club offering lifetime warranty)
Fire Safety (optional)	Many ISI:710 plywoods, like Plyneer Club, also offer fire retardancy

Applications in Kitchens

Sink Cabinets & Base Units
→ Most prone to moisture leaks. ISI:710 plywood ensures no swelling or mold.
Wall Cabinets near Stove
→ Withstands heat, oil vapors, and steam.
Modular Kitchen Carcasses
→ Delivers stability and strength to the full structure.
BWR vs. MR vs. ISI:710
→ Only ISI:710 survives the combined effects of water + heat + time.

Applications in Bathrooms

Vanity Units
→ ISI:710 ensures no peeling, rotting, or disintegration.
Loft Storage
→ Often forgotten, but humidity destroys regular ply here.
Wall Paneling / Partitions
→ With ISI:710, get longevity and safety, even behind tiles.
Mirror & Accessory Cabinets
→ Prevents surface puffing and delamination.

Bonus: Fire Safety in Moist Zones

🔥 Water and fire might seem unrelated—but kitchens face both risks.

Choose ISI:710 with fire-retardant treatment, like Plyneer Club, to protect your interiors from:

Accidental gas stove fires
Electrical sparks near water areas
Fire spread during emergencies

It’s dual protection — against water & fire.
