What Is a Smart Home?
A smart home is more than a collection of gadgets. It’s an intelligent ecosystem where design and technology work together to provide:
- Comfort
- Efficiency
- Safety
- Aesthetics
Think voice-controlled lighting, motorized wardrobes, hidden pop-up charging docks, automated kitchen cabinets — all beautifully integrated into woodwork.
The Need for Smart Materials in Smart Homes
While electronics and apps often take the spotlight in smart homes, the base materials are just as important. Why?
Because tech-integrated interiors must:
- Be fire-safe due to wiring & devices
- Resist moisture & heat, especially in kitchens & bathrooms
- Support moving/mechanical components
- Maintain aesthetic finesse over time
This is where Plyneer Club, India’s leading fire-retardant and waterproof plywood, makes all the difference.
