Its woodwork is a crucial element that makes or breaks the look and feel of your dream home. And a lot depends on the quality of the plywood you choose. More often than not, homeowners do not put much thought into their choice of plywood, and it is here that mistakes happen.

Given that over 80% of the plywood industry is unorganized, your plywood selection must be well researched ON-THE-DOT. Any slip up, and you will end up investing in substandard products that steal your peace of mind.

Let us give you the case of Mr Mohit Gupta (name changed due to privacy). Mr Mohit was doing a home renovation and was sold (instead pushed by the contractor) non-branded plywood, saying that it’s the same in quality and there is no difference in branded vs non-branded. To save a few bucks, Mr Mohit decided to go for non-branded plywood. In less than 18 months, he would see modular kitchen hardware falling apart because the cabinets were losing their strength (because the plywood was of lower power). Mr Mohit’s is not a one-off case; it’s commonplace in India that such cases happen to millions of people daily due to a parallel sizeable unorganized market.

In this blog, we share five reasons to invest in high-grade plywood for your home. Believe us, this one right decision on your part will bring you and your family years and years of joy and hassle-free living.

Reasons To Buy Genuine-Quality Plywood For Long-Lasting Woodwork

Benefits Of High-Quality Plywood

1. Keeps Your Furniture Looking As Good As New

Wouldn’t it be great to build new furniture today and, ten years from now, your guests still think it is brand new and even compliment you for it?

2. It Will Save You Money In The Long Run

When you invest your hard-earned money into making your home, you build a legacy for future generations. And needless to say, such a lifelong investment deserves nothing less than the best in the market, so your legacy continues to live.

Now, you may want to cut costs wherever possible. If you choose to buy cheap plywood, you will spend much more than you had initially planned.

Why? Because cheap plywood will significantly reduce the longevity of your build. Your home’s woodwork will look old faster, and performance issues will crop up in the coming years. Not just that. Fake, sub-standard plywood is highly susceptible to termite attacks, meaning you will face hefty repairs and additional labour work and lose your peace of mind.

Surely, your loved ones deserve better? So remember to choose wisely.

3. It Gives a Stunning Look

The overall aesthetic appeal of your home’s woodwork depends on the quality of its foundation. Choose the suitable material with excellent finish and design, and you will build a beautiful home that is perfect for your family – not just today but the foreseeable future.

A common mistake homeowners make is to use high-end materials for the exterior finish but low-quality plywood for the insides of the woodwork. As a result, the contractor struggles to give the best finishing during the application.

Sadly, the end product is full of undulations, lines, breakages, and cracks appearing within just a few months and cannot be repaired.

4. Keeps You And Your Family Safe

Last but most importantly, buying natural plywood means you are making the health of your loved ones your top priority. You see, plywood contains harmful formaldehyde chemicals, even cancer-causing in some cases. Do you want to take a chance?

Do not compromise on your family’s health and buy only high-quality plywood made with at least E-1 or E-0 grade emission norms that ensures long-term health and safety.

5. It Will Save You Precious Time

Another benefit of investing in high-quality plywood for long-lasting woodwork is saving time. Woodwork tends to happen towards the end of your projects, and you want the contractors to give you the best finish on time. You see, inferior products are usually made with a lot of undulation and warping, increasing the time a contractor takes to build your woodwork as they have to make additional adjustments to the product to achieve the desired finish.

At this time, your contractor is left with two choices, better finish or get the project done on time. In addition, the more time spent on your woodwork, the higher the labour costs and more expenses for you.

What’s more, using substandard materials means an increased need for time-to-time maintenance (hinges coming to lose within 1 year or door lock not locking properly within a few days) – which will eat into your precious time and busy schedules.

So doesn’t it make sense to get it perfect the first time around so you can save hours and hours of your time?
