Which Wood Product is Best for Wardrobes and Cabinets?

Whether you’re planning a sleek bedroom wardrobe, a custom kitchen cabinet, or a multi-purpose storage unit—choosing the right wood product matters. At Altwood, we believe quality plywood offers the perfect blend of strength, durability, and affordability. Here’s why it’s the preferred material for wardrobes and cabinets across regions like Asansol, Ranchi, Odisha, and the North East.


 

Why Plywood?

Plywood is engineered by pressing together thin veneers of wood with alternating grain directions. This cross‑grain construction significantly enhances durability, reduces warping, and improves structural stability khidki.homes+4Varna Group+4plywood.royaletouche.com+4.

✔️ Strong & Durable – withstands daily use
✔️ Excellent Screw Retention – ideal for hinges & handles
✔️ Smooth Finish – perfect for laminates, polish, or paint
✔️ Cost-Effective – much more affordable than solid wood


 

Picking the Best Quality Plywood for Cabinets

At Altwood, we provide a wide range of plywood sheets to match different budgets and needs. Here’s a quick look at popular options:

¶1 Alternate Plywood (ALT)

A hybrid core of hardwood and softwood layers delivers durability at a sensible price—ideal for everyday wardrobe or modular cabinet use.

¶2 Red Core Plywood

Known for its hard red hardwood core, this variant offers superior strength, termite resistance, and humidity tolerance—making it one of the best plywood options in regions prone to dampness.

¶3 Block Board*

Though not plywood, block board is used for doors and wide panels—excellent flexibility and resistance to warping.

Should You Consider Shuttering Plywood?

Only if you’re doing construction. Shuttering plywood is engineered for concrete casting—not suited for cabinets or furniture. Stick to product lines like Alternate plywood, Red Core, or block board for interior use.

For most wardrobes in humid areas, BWR-grade or marine-grade plywood gives added moisture resistance. For standard indoor use, MR-grade or ALT-quality suffices.

Importance of ISI Certification

In India, ISI certification is mandatory for plywood and door shutters. It guarantees that the product meets safety and quality standards set by BIS, including bonding strength, water resistance, and emissions control Varna Group+8LinkedIn+8Corpbiz+8.
