There is one important point to consider when choosing Plywood type for
Wardrobes which is...
What will be the height of the
wardrobe?
This is the most important thing to consider. If the cupboard doors are
more than 7 feet high, the best choice material would not be plywood. This is
because plywood has a tendency to bend in the middle when using pieces that are
so long. The best choice, in this case, is to use the 'block board'.
Technically, blockboards are not as strong as hardwood plywood when
compared to strength. However, they have a unique advantage. They have a lesser
tendency to bend in the middle. Therefore, in furniture building, it is very
common for carpenters and interior designers to choose blockboard over plywood
for furniture, which is more than 7 feet high such as wardrobe doors.
Here are some key features of
Blockboards:
1. it is cheaper than plywood
2. They are made of softwood blocks covered with a thin layer on both
sides. The most popular blockboards in India are made from pine woodblocks.
3. The tendency to sag or bend in the middle is less.
When to choose plywood for wardrobes?
If the wardrobe height is low, it is better to use plywood instead of
blockboards. The best type of plywood for wardrobe in such cases is commercial
MR grade plywood, decorated with a laminated surface. Commercial MR (moisture
resistant) plywood is not waterproof but is the most common material used in
such cases.
Kitchen cabinets are usually made of using BWR (Boiling water resistant)
grade, which is a waterproof ply, while all other furniture, such as cabinets,
TV tables, showcases, wall panels, etc. Made using commercial MR grade
plywood.
