Why Waterproof Plywood Is a Must for Indian Homes

Why Waterproof Plywood Is a Must for Indian Homes

India’s Weather Demands More Than Ordinary Plywood

India faces extreme climate variations:

  • 🌧️ Heavy monsoons
  • 🔥 Hot and humid summers
  • 🏙️ Urban water leakage issues
  • 🛁 Steam and splash zones in kitchens and bathrooms

Regular MR (Moisture Resistant) or commercial plywood fails in these conditions. The result?

  • Swelling edges
  • Warped shutters
  • Fungus on wardrobes
  • Frequent replacements

That's why waterproof plywood (BWP/IS:710 grade) is no longer optional — it’s essential.

What Makes Plywood Waterproof?

Waterproof plywood is manufactured with:

  • Boiling Water Proof (BWP) grade resin
  • High-density hardwood cores (like eucalyptus)
  • Vacuum-pressed layers for tight bonding
  • Water-repellent treatment from the inside out

Certified under IS:710 standards, this plywood can resist boiling water for over 72 hours without damage.

Regular vs Waterproof Plywood: What’s the Difference?

Core Bonding Urea Formaldehyde Phenol Formaldehyde (BWP)
Moisture Tolerance Low High (boiling water safe)
