  1. Moisture Resistant Plywood: Advantages and Disadvantages

  2. What is Moisture Resistant plywwod  The MR Grade plywood means “Moisture Resistant”. This type of plywood’s is the best to be used for an interior purpose like manufacturing of bed or furniture where the chance of getting wet is very less. MR Plywood is not waterproof but has a lot of usages. The MR grade plywood has a lot of demand for decorating and designing of residence and commercial place due to the benefit of cost effectiveness.

  3. Uses There are numerous companies that specialize in offering products ranging from Plywood and allied products like, Particle Board, Blackboard, Film Faced Ply, Laminates, various species of wood like Radiata Pine and Maranti, and other important timber products like Flush Doors and Door Frames.

  4. Advantages 1. Good uniform strength Plywood is a strong material, especially if it’s made from strong woods (hardwoods) instead of the weaker woods (softwoods). It is quite easy to tear. 3. Available in large sizes compared to solid wood Its very easy to get a nice looking uniformly thick 18 mm plywood sheet of size 8'x4' (8 feet x 4 feet) from the market, but quite impractical to get solid flat wood of such a size (which tree could be cut and how?).

  5. 4. Economical use of wood by mixing various woods together Some woods are prized for their beauty (teak, oak etc.) but are also costly. The veneers of such woods can be used to form the surface layer of the plywood, while the inner layers could be composed of other strong but cheaper woods. 5. Available in varieties such as flexible plywood. Several interesting varieties have now come up in plywood. One of them is flexible plywood. It can be rolled up or bent to form curved surfaces and allows for more applications in furniture and home decor.

  6. 2. Can be used for making interior home furniture as well as exterior furniture. Plywood is available in different grades such as MR grade (moisture resistant) for interior use, and BWR grade (boiling water resistant) for exterior use. So furniture that is likely to get wet, such as that in the kitchen or the garden can be made from BWR Water-proof grade plywood, while elsewhere such as in the living room or bedroom, the cheaper MR grade plywood can be used.

  7. Disadvantages 1. Water can damage MR grade plywood The layers of plywood can come apart on prolonged exposure to water. 2. Can bend or sag when longer pieces are used. Plywood is not considered suitable for applications that require longer pieces of wood such as our front doors, benches, wardrobe doors or any other place where long panels are required. This is because plywood has a tendency to sag or bend from the middle in such cases.

  8. 3. Difficult to judge the quality of a plywood sheet. As a customer, it’s difficult to judge which wood has been used for making the plywood. The outer surface veneers can be seen, but what about the inner ones? It’s important to choose wisely and buy from a trusted source irrespective of whether we shop offline or online. 4. The edges also need to be covered with suitable pieces of wood. Other than laminating the surfaces of the plywood, the edges of the wood also usually need to be covered by gluing wooden strips over them, to make the furniture look better.

  9. 5. Costlier compared to blockboards, or particle boards. Plywood is costlier compared to particle boards or blockboards. And in addition to the material cost, the carpentry costs also get added. So for those people who are looking for short-term furniture solutions, the ready-made furniture made from particle boards can be worth considering.
