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.

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.
The followings are some characteristics of high-grade plywood that you can use as a checklist when choosing one for yourself:
Local, unbranded plywood might seem like a cost-effective idea at first, but it won’t last you in the long run. Branded plywood, on the other hand, ensures peace of mind and quality assurance. With a range of waterproof, fireproof and termite-proof plywood, Sylvan Ply leaves you spoilt for choice.
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:
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.

A superior-quality product will have layers of veneer that are aesthetic and enhance your spaces. For a premium range of plywood,

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.

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 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.
