Plywood we put our name on
Densewood is our own brand, refined over years of making and supplying plywood for projects across India.
Material laboratory
Understand the material. Before you specify it.
Plywood is thin veneers bonded together, with the grain of each layer crossing the next. That crossing is what keeps a sheet flat and strong in both directions.
Three grades, chosen by where the sheet will live
Every Densewood sheet is stamped with its grade. If you are unsure which one a room needs, ask us.
- MR
- Moisture resistant, Densewood SilverFor dry interiors: wardrobes, beds, shelving and panelling.
- BWR
- Boiling water resistantFor kitchens and other rooms that see steam, spills and daily cleaning.
- BWP
- Boiling water proof, Densewood GoldFor bathrooms, wet areas and prolonged exposure to water.
Thicknesses by grade

The same grade, without the brand premium
Part of what a nationally advertised sheet costs is the advertising. Densewood is made to the same grades and sold by the people who put their name on it.
| What is compared | Densewood | Nationally advertised brands |
|---|---|---|
| Grades | MR, BWR and BWP, with fire-retardant, Gurjan and calibrated sheets | MR, BWR and BWP, with speciality lines |
| Core | A crossed, bonded core that keeps the sheet stable, and Calib where thickness must be even | Varies with the product line and price tier |
| Price, same grade and thickness | Lower. You are not paying for national advertising or a chain of dealers | Carries advertising, distribution and dealer margins |
| Who answers for it | One team. The brand and the supplier are the same people | Brand, distributor and dealer are separate |
| Checked before dispatch | Every order, against the grade and thickness on your BOQ | Depends on the dealer |
| Paperwork | Test certificates shared on request with your enquiry | Published by the brand |
A general comparison, not a test result against any one product. We supply the national brands too: if your specification names one, we quote it, and we can price Densewood beside it so you can compare like for like.
Which sheet does the room need?
Pick where the plywood is going. This is a starting point: send us the drawing and we will confirm it.
- Wardrobes and bedsMR grade, Densewood Silver
Dry rooms need moisture resistance, not waterproofing.
- KitchensBWR grade Densewood
Steam, spills and daily cleaning call for boiling water resistance.
- Bathrooms and wet areasBWP grade, Densewood Gold
Prolonged contact with water needs boiling water proof bonding.
- Machine-cut modular workDensewood Calib
An even thickness across the sheet keeps edges and joints true.
- Curved furnitureFlexible plywood, 6, 8 or 12 mm
Bends to a radius without cracking the face.
- Fire-rated interiorsDensewood FR
Fire-retardant plywood for spaces where the specification asks for it.
