Why Carpenters Prefer Block Board Over Plywood for Wardrobe Doors

Carpenters often reject plywood for wardrobe doors — and for good reason.

The Weight Problem

Plywood doors are heavy, stressing hinges. Block board is lighter and easier to operate.

Warping and Screw Holding

Tall doors warp easily. Block board stays straighter and holds screws better due to its pinewood core.

Where Plywood Still Wins

Wardrobe bodies, shelves, and cabinets perform best with red core plywood or alternate plywood. Doors perform better with block board.
