  1. Fire Rated Board: Is Installing Fire-Retardant Plywood Worth It?

  2. Fire is one of the many dangerous threats to constructed structures as a fire accident can consume a large building in no time, especially when there is a lack of safety measures. Fire-retardant plywood is a popular product that is commonly used in various construction projects for minimising the threat of accidental fire.

  3. What is Fire-Retardant Plywood?  A fire-rated board or plywood is built when the wood is pressure-infused with fire-retardant chemicals that add a unique protective layer to the board. Fire-retardant plywood is the ultimate choice for protection against fire accidents as many tests are conducted during its manufacturing to ensure its fire-retardant qualities stand the test of time.   Some common uses of fire rated board products include installations in schools, hospitals, auditoriums, restaurants, etc. Fire-retardant plywood products are lightweight and easy to carry, making them an ideal choice for various applications. When choosing fire-retardant plywood, you should carefully select the products according to your unique requirements. These products are available in different varieties as they’re built for both interior and exterior applications. 

  4. Benefits of Using Fire-Retardant Plywood  Reduces the Threat of Fire  Let’s address the obvious quality first. Fire-retardant plywood is specifically treated to resist fire and slow the spreading of fire. Modern homes and commercial buildings consist of many flammable and explosive materials that can cause an accidental fire. Small electric sparks can also create a large-scale fire that spreads to the entire building.  

  5. A fire rated board, just like various plywood products is lightweight and portable. This allows homeowners, commercial property owners, and designers to easily pick fire-retardant plywood as an ideal choice while enabling them to search far-off markets for the best product as well. Matilda Veneer is a trustable manufacturer and supplier of various timber veneer products including fire-rated products. Heavier options can cause problems during transportation and installation as they require more resources and time.   Portability 

  6. Workability  The workability of fire-rated plywood makes it the perfect choice for interiors and exteriors as professionals can cut and resize the plywood according to your distinct requirements. In addition to this, you can also paint or stain the plywood to achieve the desired aesthetics that match the interior themes of your buildings.  Other Plywood Options Available for Interior Use  You would require a different type of plywood according to your unique needs. Here are some alternatives to fire-retardant plywood that you can choose from for your projects. 

  7. Commercial Plywood: A popular choice for bedrooms and living rooms, commercial plywood is not appropriate for areas exposed to dampness and moisture. You can also use this plywood for making furniture, cabinets, chairs, and tables.   Marine Plywood: Considered the highest-quality plywood among the various choices, marine plywood is perfect for boats and surfaces that are constantly exposed to water. They can sustain damage from moisture and dampness for extended periods, making them ideal for both interior and exterior applications.  Decorative Plywood: As the name suggests, decorative plywood consists of a thin layer of timber veneers specifically used for decorating the outer layers of cabinets, wall panels, and furniture. It is a good choice for adding natural colour and appeal to your home interiors.  BWP Plywood: Kitchens and bathrooms, areas where a high humidity may be observed, require plywood that can sustain the impact of water. BWP (Boiling Waterproof) plywood is water-resistant and allows users to maintain their kitchen and bathroom interior conditions for a long time.
