Marine plywood is made to resist moisture, load stresses, and prolonged exposure to the elements so that it can serve as an effective solution for the most demanding needs of your house. It contains multiple layers bonded with adhesives that are also water-resistant, preventing swelling, warping, and delaminating in humid conditions, so if you are creating a home interior focused on durability, it is important to choose the best areas for use of Marine Plywood to maximize its durability.
Kitchen Sink Cabinets and Cabinets
Kitchens have a lot of water splashes, steam, and spills, which makes them susceptible to moisture damage. Marine plywood has sufficient strength to maintain structural integrity when wet and it will not swell at the edges, allowing cabinets to last longer.
Bathroom Storage Cabinets and Vanities
Bathrooms are usually humid environments that need some sort of component designed to resist moisture absorption and the growth of fungus. Plywood Has Stability and Surface Reliability.
Balcony Furniture and Planter Boxes
These types of boards are usually found in semi-exposed areas where they experience extreme changes in temperature, and where rainwater can affect them.
Window Frames and Sills
Because these types of locations are constantly subjected to changes in temperature due to moisture accumulation on the interior of the home, Marine Plywood provides an additional barrier to prevent expansion related to temperature fluctuations.
Utilities and Laundry Storage Areas
A utility and laundry area may oftentimes have a washing machine and/or other plumbing pipes, which benefit from being composed of moisture-proof structural panels.
Under Stairs Storage Units
Under-stairs storage units are typically filled with stagnant air and high humidity, which can eventually lead to deterioration from moisture on some marine plywood materials.
Wardrobe in Humid Climates
In humid climates, clothing storage structures can develop mold and mildew. Provided your wardrobe is constructed from Marine Plywood, it helps to protect against moisture buildup within them.
Modular Office Furniture
The large load-bearing capability of marine plywood makes it highly useful for modular furniture that can support large amounts of equipment and shelving systems.
Kitchen Loft Storage
Kitchen lofts are located at a very high elevation where the weight of the storage unit is translated to direct support underneath it, or continuous sag under the constant pressure of the load placed in it.
Interior Wall Panels for Wet Areas
Wet areas (kitchen, wash areas, utility areas) that have marine plywood walls have a more consistent surface stability than walls that do not have marine plywood on them.
By purchasing marine plywood that was produced under uniform manufacturing standards, like the manufacturing standard maintained by Royale Touche, you can be confident in the performance, durability, and structural integrity of your interior waterproof projects for many years after purchase.
