When you're looking for the finest quality plywood products, you may opt to choose from the best plywood brands in India. But there are a few things that you should consider. Here's a brief glance at what the biggest plywood manufacturing companies in India offer and how you can make the most of it.
The current epidemic has confined everyone to our homes. People have started to notice their homes with more intent and focus. One of the few things that provide our homes with style and a hint of sophistication is our furniture – along with articles that are made of wood, including our doors, window frames and staircases.
One common factor that binds all these graceful entities is plywood.
We've been awestruck by the durability of quality plywood. Quality plywood can offer us long-lasting endurance while providing stability to our wooden structures. Now, the next few natural questions that arise when you think of quality plywood are as follow:
So, let's take the first question – how to identify a plywood product that stands true to all international criteria of quality?
The first thing to do is look for an ISI mark. Usually speaking, a commercial-grade plywood or MR grade plywood comes under the IS:303 of the ISI mark spectrum. While marine-grade plywood or waterproof plywood comes under IS: 710. One more important thing to do is to observe the CML number that's underneath the ISI mark.
Every plywood manufacturer has a unique CML number that helps one in identifying the manufacturer in an easy way. Nowadays, some of the best plywood brands in India offer a unique hologram plus QR code sticker on each of their plywood products. With a simple use of an app, you can verify its genuineness as well as learn all about the product as well as the company.
Coming to the next question, which plywood companies in India are at the top of the industry when it comes to manufacturing of products?
A brief internet search will tell you who the leading plywood trading companies or plywood and doors manufacturers are. But, you should also consider other factors – such as durability, affordability and flexibility. A branded product might not necessarily be the best in quality. Big manufacturing companies in India are always dealing with a deluge of demand, and to meet this demand, they resort to outsourcing of the manufacturing to countries such as China – which can mean a compromised product.
We would always suggest you choose a company with the capacity to manufacture all their products at their in-house facilities. Also, big companies spend a lot of their revenue back into advertising, thus inflating the price of their products. If your budget permits, go for a premium brand that offers you the peace of mind that comes with assured quality along with value for money.
The third question is, how to perfectly recognize which plywood type needs to be installed in what part of your living space?
Your house can be broadly divided into two areas – dry areas and wet areas. Areas such as living room, bedroom, study room and prayer room come under the dry area category. For dry areas, commercial-grade plywood or MR grade plywood is the ideal choice.
For wet areas such as kitchen and bathroom, you must consider going for waterproof plywood or marine grade plywood. It's best advised that you make a list of the number of plywood sheets you require for each room. And at the time of purchase, this little list might come handy!
The last but not the least important question is, where exactly should you go to procure quality plywood?
Head to a big wholesale retailer or a stockist to get your hands on your favourite ply range. Not only the wholesaler will be a more cost-effective option than a retailer, but the number of choices presented to you will be magnitude higher than a retail place.
