A frequently encountered issue in the design or remodelling of either a bathroom or laundry area is moisture. Because bathrooms and laundry areas generate a continuously changing flat of humidity, steam and splashes of water, the materials will quickly succumb to the effects of moisture or water.
While plywood tends to be both visually comfortable and economical, its exposure to moisture or water will have a diminishing effect over time on the plywood’s ability to hold its structural integrity. The warping, peeling or fungus can often be symptomatic of the effects of moisture on the plywood that may come between the layers.
Enter the trend of many homeowners, architects, and interior designers – waterproof plywood, the future of durable and visually appealing home-based furniture made to withstand the conditions in bathrooms or laundry spaces.
Made of Superior Materials
Bathrooms and laundry areas are most likely to accommodate moisture, and standard plywood does not have the strength to contend with moisture issues properly.
Waterproof plywood is made using a superior resin and has superior formulations to create a bond that is virtually impenetrable through its many layers and even helps to isolate the plywood from a water intrusion near the core structure of your furniture.
When materials are subject or exposed to steam or splashes of water while holding weight, waterproof plywood does not lose its original shape and maintains its ability to carry weight over time, whereas traditional MDF or particle board will.
When exposed to moisture over time, and as cabinetry or shelving is inevitably exposed or moved, waterproof plywood will not bubble or lose its shape, helping to ensure that your cabinetry and storage unit remain sound for years to come. In a moisture-rich environment, waterproof plywood is the premier option.
The Blend of Durability and Aesthetics
You can have the best of both worlds and not have to contemplate the trade-offs of a strong material vs beauty. Because waterproof plywood offers great flexibility in aesthetics, it can be laminated, veneered or painted; and it offers the ability to create a mixture of functions and aesthetics that truly represents you as a homeowner.
Whether you like a glossy modern vanity or a warm wooden texture for your laundry storage, there is waterproof plywood that fits your aesthetic.
Top brands like Royale Touche Plywood have taken that appeal to the next level with plywood that can withstand the pressure tests of a bath or laundry space—they offer waterproof plywood that also looks like a premium product.
The fine surface quality of waterproof plywood allows for smooth finishes and sharp edges that create a luxe design for any bath or laundry space.
Hygienic, Eco-Friendly and Low-Maintenance Design
Bathroom and laundry spaces also require products with considered materials that are easy to clean and inhibit bacterial growth. Waterproof plywood is hygienic in that it doesn’t absorb moisture, so it reduces the risk of mold and mildew. All it takes is a quick wipe down, and it stays looking and feeling fresh.
In addition, many waterproof plywood products are manufactured using considered processes and low-emission adhesives. That means that the surfaces of your interiors will not only appear to be high-end but will also be healthier.
Making a Smarter Choice for the Long Term
Waterproof plywood may seem slightly more expensive than a standard piece of plywood, but it’s worth every cent in the long run. It lasts longer, it doesn’t take much maintenance, and it performs better in resisting water damage and issues.
Fewer replacements and repairs all translate into the benefit of the best bang for your buck – the style, durability, and longevity add up in return on investment.
The Future of Practical Design
Today, a space needs to be both functional and beautiful. Waterproof plywood does that perfectly by introducing strength, elegance, and sustainability in one space.
Anyone who is thinking about upgrading a bathroom or laundry is beyond just a material – it’s a considered design choice.
