bookshelf in a study and a cabinet below a kitchen sink face different conditions. When choosing plywood, start by asking where the furniture will go and how often it will come into contact with moisture. That will help you compare BWP, BWR and MR grades.

BWP plywood for areas with greater moisture exposure

BWP stands for Boiling Waterproof. Consider this grade for kitchen or vanity cabinetry where the panel may face more frequent moisture exposure. Doornex BWP plywood is 100% calibrated and carries a 30-year warranty, subject to applicable terms. Confirm the product specification and plan for suitable edge sealing and finishing.

BWR plywood for interiors with occasional moisture

BWR stands for Boiling Water Resistant. It’s an option to compare for interior cabinetry and furniture where humidity or occasional splashes are a concern. Doornex BWR plywood carries a 15-year warranty, subject to applicable terms.

MR plywood for dry indoor furniture

MR stands for Moisture Resistant. Consider it for dry indoor applications such as bedroom wardrobes, study desks, and storage units. For a unit next to a sink or in an area with repeated splashes, discuss the expected exposure before selecting the grade.

Grade addresses one part of the decision. Confirm the panel thickness, shelf span, and finish with your carpenter so the board suits the way the furniture will be built and used.
