Waterproof. Termite proof. Borer Proof

When you decide to build a new place for yourself or revamp the existing one, or just want to have something as little as a change of a furniture piece, you seem to check the same boxes for the same set of qualities. Be it a nuanced change of chest drawer or a hefty furniture makeover in the name of home renovation, plywood is always a primary raw material that has to be there in the making of the beautiful furniture that you desire. And the furniture to sustain for long has to have some general set of qualities:

Waterproof

Termite Proof

Borer Proof

How do we choose plywood that has all 3 of these?

Honestly, however, difficult it seems but it is rather fairly easy to find plywood that has all the above-mentioned qualities and in fact, more than that. All you have to do is choose Sainik 710, asli waterproof plywood by CenturyPly.

Yes, this single plywood has everything you are looking for:

1. Waterproof:

Sainik plywood is known for its waterproof properties as it has passed the rigorous boiling waterproof test. Sainik plywood did not delaminate even after subjecting it to boiling water for about 72 hours. Whereas, when subjected to a similar test, regular plywood loses its structural integration in just one hour. Thus, with Sainik, we are not looking at water resistance, but promising waterproof. Unlike local manufacturers, who dip regular plywood in a chemical that gives it a darker shade as that of waterproof plywood, CenturyPly actually uses the special phenolic resins that make the plywood truly waterproof.

2. Termite and Borer Proof:

As a leading brand, CenturyPly takes the onus of delivering the best quality to its consumers. Thus, to make Sainik plywood termite and borer proof, it uses the special Glue Line Protection that ensures that the plywood doesn’t only resist the mite attack but actually completely destroys them. Thus, Sainik plywood is termite and borer proof. With its impeccable performance as termite and borer proof plywood, CenturyPly offers an extended warranty of 8 years with Sainik plywood. So, you can stop worrying about the pest attack and make the palaces you thought of with Sainik plywood.

3. Affordable:

As we promised, these are not the only qualities that you get with Sainik plywood. Given the superpowers you get with Sainik, it is actually quite affordable. Sainik plywood comes at a reasonable price of Rs.102 / sqft (including taxes). And the good thing is that it follows the ‘One nation, one price’ strategy. So you don’t have to worry about the cost flexibility as per the region you live in. Sainik plywood comes at a uniform price across the whole country. Now that you are well-versed about the miraculous performance of this plywood, you can purchase Sainik710 - Asli waterproof at various stores or even online on our own e-shop: https://www.centuryply.com/sainik-710-2021

What type of wood do termites not eat?

Naturally Resistant To deter the pests, homeowners can obtain heartwood-grade lumber for construction projects. Termites also tend to avoid specific species of trees such as redwoods, yellow cedar, Laotian teak, and cypress. However, these types of wood are not as long-lasting as treated lumber.

Home-invading termites prefer soft, rotting, or fungus-infested wood with high moisture content. For this reason, most termite infestations start with wood that touches or is located close to the soil. Homeowners may reduce the chances of termite infestations by using pressure treated, naturally resistant, or composite wood.

Pressure Treated

Pressure treated wood is embedded with preservatives that are forced into the wood pores during the manufacturing process. This makes the timber resistant to rot and fungi and creates a termite-resistant chemical barrier. Slowing the natural decay process in this way results in stronger, longer-lasting wood that is valuable for building homes, sheds, and decks. In fact, many locations within the U.S. have requirements for using pressure treated wood in places where the wood contacts or is otherwise close to the soil.

Naturally Resistant

Heartwood is the non-living, central wood of trees. This wood is darker, denser, and less permeable than the surrounding timber. Therefore, it is naturally less attractive to termites. To deter the pests, homeowners can obtain heartwood-grade lumber for construction projects. Termites also tend to avoid specific species of trees such as redwoods, yellow cedar, Laotian teak, and cypress. However, these types of wood are not as long-lasting as treated lumber.

Composite Materials

Specially designed to deter termites and increase the useable lifetime, some manmade composite lumber products are made with materials that the pests can't digest, such as plastic. Other composite products are made with a combination of plastics and wood fibers. Since composites don’t tend to warp like natural timber, composite wood is also a more durable building product choice. If you need some help to determine whether or not you have activity, call Orkin today for a free termite inspection of your home.
