Is Plywood Suitable For Bathrooms and Kitchens?

Is plywood suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Plywood is an attractive and premium architectural feature utilised with success in many settings. It’s because of this that plywood has been used for centuries and when interior and exterior designs evolved, plywood is still featured in many of them.

Made with a combination of at least 3 wood veneers bonded together to produce a flat sheet and an impressive range of customisations and applications, many designers, builders and architects want to know if there are any settings where plywood isn’t suitable.

So, when bubbles get splashed around in the bathroom and cooking oils and sauces do the same in the kitchen – are plywood fittings and fixtures a suitable match?

Want to know the real suitability of plywood for bathrooms and kitchens? We’re here to shed light on this and more below.

 

Is plywood suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Plywood is suitable for both bathrooms and kitchens – if you use the correct plywood product, that is.

Plywood with birch cores are the only suitable options and we at Maxiply highly recommend pre-finishing and an additional coat of UV oil. Why? Because professional UV oil fights mould and fungus from growing in the event of moisture getting into and onto the plywood boards. However, plywood isn’t suitable for any areas where direct water could impact the board.

 

When specifying for bathrooms and kitchens, please keep in mind Maxiply’s recommendations for cupboard doors.
