Recognizing fake plywood brands can be challenging, but here are some tips to help you identify them:
- Check for the brand name and logo properly.
- Inspect the quality of the plywood, such as cracks, warping, or unevenness in the surface.
- Look for the certification marks like the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which indicates that the product meets the required quality standards.
- Verify the source of purchase: buy plywood only from authorised dealers and stores. Unscrupulous sellers may sell fake plywood brands at lower prices to attract customers, so it is important to do your research and only purchase from reliable sources.
- Check online reviews of the plywood brand and seller to see what other customers are saying. If the reviews are overwhelmingly negative or suspicious, it could be a sign of a fake brand.
- Check the price; if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Fake plywood brands are often sold at much lower rates than genuine brands.
Durable homes need a durable foundation.
A customer should never settle for less when it comes to building their dream home or comfort space. Sylvan Ply assures customers of high-grade products with a lifetime promise of durability on select products.
It would be in your best interest if you take a look at the IS certification stamps on the plywood. Ask the dealer or interior designer to guide you through the process.

BWP and BWRare government grading standardsto differentiate each product. BWP (boiling water proof) is used to grade ply and blockboards whereas
BWR (boiling water resistant) grade is given to manufacturing plywood.
Waterproof plywood offers protection from most kinds of water and liquid damage, and is durable. But non-waterproof plywood, as the name suggests, can get easily damaged and lose shape when exposed to water.
Yes, Sylvan Ply offers 100% termite-proof plywood, which makes them one of the best plywood for your furniture needs.
BWP (boiling water proof) plywood is referred to as marine plywood, which can withstand high-moisture conditions without compromising on its structural integrity.
Blockboards are considered to be the best for making shelves as unlike plywood, they are not made from plies that are glued together but rather from wood blocks that are placed end to end to form its core. In the case of shelves, where the length of furniture matters, blockboards offer better stiffness whereas a plywood sheet of considerable length has a tende1ncy to sag down in the middle.

Sylvan Ply is a name synonymous with authenticity and reliability. Having created a niche for ourselves in the plywood market, we have been offering consumers only the finest crafted products curated from superior-quality raw materials.
Plywood is the compilation of wooden layers, assembled and bonded together in a flat sheet, also known as veneer. Timber, on the other hand, is the fallen wood processed for construction purposes.
Wood warping is a common phenomenon where the product undergoes deformity due to moisture and temperature fluctuations. The first step to prevent wood warping is locating its underlying cause. To prevent Wood Warping, try out the following methods:
- Use of Sealant: applying a layer of paint, stain or protective sealant to the wood can protect it against the moisture.
- Store wood in a cool and dry place.
- Acclimating the wood to the destination prior to its use.
- Avoid stacking the wood one above the other; lay it flat.
Warping is a common phenomenon of wood under extreme temperatures. Wood warping is not limited to any dimension of 6mm and 9mm plywood but varies on the quality.
However, Sylvan Ply’s 6mm and 9mm plywood are crafted in a cross-layered veneered panel to provide tensile strength reducing the risk of wood warping.
Termites eat plywood, making deep burrows inside. They have the ability to destroy any furniture by burrowing in them. You can choose to spray anti-borer spray on the affected area of the plywood. However, it is advisable to invest in an anti-termite and borer resistant plywood for durable structures.
The main difference between termite and borer attacks is that borers are present inside the wood creating pinhole-like structures, whereas, termites attack the wood from outside, deforming it in the process.
For better durability, it is recommended you invest in weather-resistant and anti-corrosion plywood. Sylvan Ply, a game changer in the plywood manufacturing industry, has a market-leading portfolio of high-grade plywood with innovative features. Check our product page for more information: https://sylvanply.com/plywood-blockboard/.
Marine grade/BWP/BWR Plywood is a new innovative product that is highly water-resistant, preventing moisture absorption for lifelong structures.
Plywood is available in four grades and types. A-Grade plywood has a smoother surface and is of the highest quality. However, in most cases, bad appearance is synonymous with bad quality. A superior-quality product will have layers of veneer that are aesthetic and enhance your spaces. For a premium range of plywood,

BWP (Boiling Water Proof) plywood is considered the best plywood for cabinets due to its ability to withstand moisture and humidity. The certification for it is IS:710. It is designed to resist delamination and warping even when exposed to water or damp conditions, making it a durable and long-lasting choice for cabinet construction.
BWR (boiling water resistant) and BWP (boiling water proof) plywood is often used in the manufacturing of furniture that has to be strong and resistant to water damage, ideally for kitchens. Whereas, MR-grade stands for moisture-resistant Plywood. MR Commercial plywood is recommended to be used in hot, humid climates as they can resist moisture but are not water-proof. This type of plywood can be used to make bedroom furniture.
Plywood that has been chemically treated to be less flammable and to slow down the spread of fire is known as “fire-retardant plywood.” Since fire safety is of key importance, these are frequently used in commercial buildings as well as for home interiors. Fire-retardant Sylvan plywood not only guarantees fire safety but is also waterproof.
BWR (boiling water resistant) plywood is ideal for modular kitchens due to superior resistance to moisture and water damage. These types of plywood offer zero surface core gaps, extreme strong bonding, and no warping, making them suitable for kitchen cabinets, shelves and furniture. Sylvan BWR Plywood is made using an in-house phenol formaldehyde adhesive, which lends it high durability and strength to withstand continued heavy usage.

Blockboard
Depending on your purpose, both Plywood and Blockboard are best in their own ways, catering to different requirements and applications.
At Sylvan Ply, you can find blockboards of 16mm, 19mm and 25mm sizes.
Blockboard is manufactured by joining a core made of rectangular blocks of softwood or hardwood between two veneer panels using an adhesive. The blocks are placed edge-to-edge and sandwiched between the veneers; then the entire assembly is pressed and cured under heat and pressure to create a strong and stable panel.
Flush Doors

the exact details, contact us at: +91- 9073685001.
Timber
Every timber has its own USP and caters to that specific need. So, you should buy plywood according to your requirements and budget.
You can opt for USA Pine, New Zealand Pine, Indonesian Sal and Malaysian timber as viable alternatives for Gurjan.
Sylvan Ply offers different types of timber, including South American, USA Pine, New Zealand Pine, Indonesian Sal, and Malaysian in plywood making.
Twisting: Twisting occurs when the wood fibres spiral around the length of the board, causing it to appear twisted or rotated.
Bending: Bending is the process of changing the shape of wood along its length to create curves or angles. This can be achieved using steam or other techniques.
Warping: Warping occurs when a board or piece of wood changes shape due to changes in moisture content or uneven drying.
Plywood is the compilation of wooden layers, assembled and bonded together in a flat sheet, also known as veneer. Timber, on the other hand, is the fallen wood processed for construction purposes.
Wall Panels
Wall panels are flat pieces of material made of solid wood or timber that are roughly square or rectangular in shape and serve as an aesthetic wall covering.
Wall panels that are made out of natural wood are considered to be the best, as they can be made to retain their original warm and aesthetic look. Sylvan panels are made with high-quality imported decorative pinewood, which itself has a beautiful comforting factor and lends a modern, stylish look to your space.
Wooden panels have insulating properties, keeping your space cool in the summer and warm in the winter. You will usually find hot sauna rooms built on such panelling.
Wall panels are versatile and can be used both indoors and outdoors. You can easily install them on the exterior of the house, on ceilings, attics, store rooms, or interior walls. In fact, wall panels give your home an aesthetic look when put up on the outside.
Both of them are good options, but the final decision will boil down to pricing, theme of the space and time required for installation. For durable and easy-to-maintain surfaces, opt for wood panelling; whereas, if you aim to have fire-resistant walls and want cost-friendly options, drywall is the best pick.
Sylvan Panels can be easily installed using the tongue-and-groove method. Two pieces or edges are joined to fit together, end-to-end. This installation method is so easy that anyone with decent wood crafting skills can attempt it themselves. This end-coordinating framework saves time in estimating, sawing and installing. One can save around 20% in labour cost and 20%
in material waste.
WPC
Sylvan WPC (wood plastic composite) is a durable and safe product used for various construction purposes. A fine amalgamation of wood fibre/wood flour and thermoplastics, they are curated from inorganic fillers and plastic composites. Long-lasting, durable, eco-friendly and water-resistant, it is a perfect fit for modular spaces.
Wood Plastic Composite adds tensile strength and a modern appearance to your existing space. They are 100% termite & borer-proof, fire-retardant, recyclable
and waterproof. You can use them for modular kitchen spaces, home/office
furniture, signboard and display board, window and door frame, wall panelling, ceiling solutions and fencing outdoor applications.
A water-resistant Wood Plastic Composite prevents the seeping in or penetration of moisture into the product, thus, protecting your modular structures. Whereas, a fire-retardant WPC refers to the product being chemically treated to slow down the process of spreading fire and prevent burning.
These features make them customer’s first choice when it comes to creating modular structures like kitchen spaces, or individual home/office furniture, signboard and display board, window and door frame, wall panelling, etc.
Modular Ply/ Blockboard
Give your modern homes the gift of premium Sylvan Modular Ply. Enhance the visual appeal of your interiors with curated modular kitchen spaces or craft your dream furniture. With a plethora of customisation options offering you greater flexibility, the possibilities are endless.
Designed for modern kitchens, these are the preferred choice for durable kitchen furniture. Modular blockboards are chemically treated for added strength and feature 100% borer and termite-proofing, heat-resistance, and waterproofing.
