Waterproof Plywood

Q: Is waterproof plywood 100% water-resistant?

Yes, high-grade waterproof plywood (BWP/Marine) can withstand prolonged water exposure without damage.

Q: Can waterproof ply be used for shuttering?

Absolutely. Waterproof shuttering ply is commonly used in formwork due to its strength and water resistance.

Q: Is there a difference between waterproof ply board and marine plywood?

Technically, marine plywood is a type of waterproof plywood made to even higher standards, ideal for coastal or submerged conditions.

Q: Where can I use waterproof ply boards?

Waterproof ply boards are suitable for exterior wall cladding, marine applications, modular kitchens, and bathroom furniture. They are also used as waterproof shuttering ply in construction work that demands high moisture resistance.

Q: What are the common sizes of waterproof plywood sheets?

Waterproof ply sheets are commonly available in sizes like 8×4 feet with thicknesses ranging from 6mm to 25mm. Always check with the supplier for custom options based on your project needs.

Q: What is the price of waterproof ply in India?

The water proof ply price in India varies based on brand, thickness, and grade. On average, it ranges from ₹60 to ₹110 per square foot. Prices may be higher for marine-grade or fire-retardant variants.

Waterproof plywood is engineered to withstand exposure to moisture, making it an ideal choice for construction, furniture, and outdoor applications where durability and longevity are crucial. Whether you’re working on concrete shuttering or moisture-prone interiors, waterproof ply sheets deliver superior performance compared to ordinary plywood.

What is Waterproof Plywood?

Waterproof plywood, also known as marine-grade ply or BWP (Boiling Water Proof) plywood, is made using high-quality hardwood veneers bonded with waterproof adhesives.

This ensures that the plywood sheets remain unaffected by water, humidity, and weather elements.

Fact: Not All Boards Are Created Equal

When it comes to shuttering and formwork, WoWBoards stand out from traditional materials like plywood and WPC in India. Made from 100% recycled plastic, WoWBoards are waterproof, durable, and reusable over 2.5 times — making them an eco-friendly alternative. Unlike plywood shuttering, they don’t absorb moisture, swell, or degrade after use. Contact us for more information about ply wood alternative.

Testimonials

WoWBoards crossed 25 repetitions. It’ll be a good fit for slab shuttering.

Chief General Manager

ULCCS

The finish from the boards is so good that we can look at the columns and tell which column was made from WoWBoards and which is made of shuttering ply as your finish is superior.

Mr. Hari Om, NBCC Contractor

Project Name - ILBS Hospital, Vasant Kunj

The boards have excellent properties to give a better finish to the concrete. Shuttering ply, when nailed (which is required), creates a hole, and the water seeps through and makes that area swell, which is then cut and discarded. As the boards are 100% waterproof, this issue is not there at all.

Ms. Karkuzhali, Project Manager – L&T

Project Name – TC-4 Building, L&T, Chennai

The trial of WoWBoards at our Bengaluru site was a great success. The boards met our expectations in terms of durability and ease of use. We are impressed with the performance and will consider integrating WoWBoards into our future projects.

QA/QC-Projects - NCCCL

WoWBoards, as a replacement for plywood, have performed excellently at our Bengaluru site. The finishing is of high quality, and the boards have proven to be reliable for further procurement requirements. We are confident in using WoWBoards for upcoming projects.
