It is extremely important to do your research and know the materials at hand before you start thinking about your home interior design.
Of the many things that are critical in making a home, one of the most essential components is wood work.
But sometimes choosing the right kind of wood can be a little difficult. so, we are proving you few details of the wood.
1. Plywood
This is the most generic one of the lot and the one that’s easiest to recognize. Plywood is basically sheets of wood that have been pasted together, what makes it different is the kind of chemical treatment that it undergoes.
Plywood is available in multiple thicknesses ranging from 2 mm to 38 mm.
Quality Interior Design woodwork is done with 18 mm plywood. So make sure you check the thickness with your interior designers during the interior design cost estimation phase.
There are 2 different types of Plywood that are used in home interior wood work:
MR Grade or commonly referred to as Commercial Plywood – This is your regular plywood, which can be used in making your Wardrobes, TV Cabinet, Shelves and other interior work except in Bathrooms and Kitchen. IS310 is recommended
BWR Grade Plywood (Boiled Water Resistant)– This should be used for Kitchen or Bathroom Interior Design work. IS710 is recommended
Block board is a cubical stock of wood that has been sandwiched between two thin sheets of Ply (or plywood). Block wood has higher levels of durability and resistance and is therefore used for more heavy duty things.
It is more sturdy and is not that easy to warp or bend making it ideal for creating stable structures. Blockboard is available in thicknesses ranging from 16, 19 & 25 mm.
Additionally, the component of Blockboard can be altered according to the specifications of its use in interior applications.
3. MEDIUM DENSITY FIBRE or MDF
The name of this type of wood actually does a lot of justice to it. Particle Board is basically chips of wood glued together and pressed into sheets.
Out of all the options that have been provided to you as of now, particle board is the cheapest of the lot.Additionally, the Particle Board is a type of wood that has the least resistance to moisture and due to its low density & weight it offers good resistance to bending.

3. MEDIUM DENSITY FIBRE or MDF
MDF is a category of wood that is engineered and made from wood pulp. As its construction component is wood pulp, its resistance and sturdiness is a little less when compared to the blockwood.
It has low resistance to warping/ bending & moisture and because of it’s softer structure, nails do not hold well to join MDF sheets together.
The solution is that they either need to be screwed in tight or joined together using various tools.
However, on the bright side, about this type of wood is that you get various “pre-laminated” options and that too in different colours, shades & textures.
If used intelligently, MFD can help you achieve a really good looking piece of construction at a fairly low cost.
If you are looking for a long-lasting, high-quality interior wood work then you shouldn’t go with MDF. Choose good quality plywood instead.

Like the MDF, the Particle Board is also available in a “pre-laminated” form and if used properly, it can help in lowering costs as well.
It should be used for low-cost furniture that you want to change from time to time.
With a quality finishes like laminate, Veneer, Duco on top of all these different types of woods, plywood’s, all interior wood work look the same.
So, be informed, choose the material wisely when you embark on your home interiors done.
