Selecting The Right Plywood For Shelves

Kitchens are said to be the centers of our homes, arguably, the most important part of our living spaces. Kitchens are warm places where meals are cooked along with conversations and blended into memories. Since it is such a vital part of our homes, where we spend a major chunk of our day, it is important that this place makes you feel happy and comfortable while looking absolutely stunning and spotless.

Luxurious interiors, modern equipment and spacious cabinets are what make for a beautiful, comfortable kitchen. In order to avoid crowding countertops and ruining the aesthetic of your space ample storage space is required–here cabinets come to the rescue. While it is important for your cabinets to compliment your kitchen and look beautiful from the outside, it is just as important that the material that goes into making these cabinets is suitable and long-lasting.

Kitchen plywood is the most sought after material for building cabinets in modular kitchens apart from being affordable, it is also less prone to getting damaged by the moisture that is present in the kitchen. Kitchen Plywood is engineered in a way that it can hold heavyweights, while being quite lightweight on its own, making it an excellent choice for wall cabinets. Another great thing about plywood is that they are very flexible and customisable. The design and colour options that they have on offer are immense and sometimes you would think that you are spoilt for choice.

The kitchen is, undoubtedly, one of the best rooms in our homes but it is also the one that is most prone to disasters and hazards, keeping this in mind we have to be extremely careful when selecting the right plywood for kitchen cabinets, while it has to be long-lasting it also has to be extremely safe.

Amongst the several options available in the market, here are a few options that top the list:

• Fire Retardant Plywood – Fire is dangerous, and even more so if it catches somewhere close to your cabinets, this is why we recommend using plywood that is highly resistant to heat and flames. Wigwam’s Contender Plywood is a good choice to look at, it is made out of hardwood timber and is fire retardant and has a uniform thickness throughout which gives a smooth surface, thus making it the right plywood for kitchen cabinets. It won’t just make your cabinets look beautiful, it will keep them safe too.

• BWP Plywood – Water is something that is unavoidable in kitchens, so is the fact that water will reach your cabinet doors. This is why we recommend Boiling Water Proof Plywood or Marine Grade Plywood: it is highly resistant to moisture and damp surfaces, in fact, it is considered the most waterproof option available in the market. BWP Plywood is mainly used in kitchens and bathrooms due to the amount of contact that these spaces have with water. Despite the lack of natural sunlight available and the number of damp conditions it has to withstand, BWP Plywood doesn’t lose its natural shine. Wigwam has a wide range of BWP Plywoods to choose from, these have also surpassed a 72-hour test while remaining unaffected by the damp conditions it was put in.
• Termite Proof Plywood – Your kitchen cabinet spaces are home to your dishes and eatables, therefore hygiene is of utmost importance when you are choosing plywood for these cabinets. Keeping in mind that termites can quickly rot the wood from inside and deteriorate your cabinets Wigwam uses agroforestry timber for its plywood which provides natural resistance to termites and natural strength as well, thus making it the right plywood for kitchen cabinets. Wigwam offers Wigwam Club Plus plywood which is of superior quality and keeps the interiors termite-proof.

• Laminated Panels – The perfect finishing touch to your stunning kitchen is laminated panels. These not only protect your plywood but also give a beautiful, smooth finish that leaves heads turning. Apart from its beauty, Wigwam’s pre-laminated panels are heat, scratch and moisture resistant therefore they make for an excellent choice as the plywood for kitchen cabinets in your modular kitchen.

A warm kitchen makes for a warm home, so whenever picking accents for your kitchen it is extremely important to choose things that radiate comfort and happiness. Wigwam Plywood isn’t just of superior quality but it is also extremely safe and will bring together your entire home with the stunning range of plywoods available.
