FAQs
1) What is the difference between MR and BWP plywood?
MR (Moisture Resistant) plywood like Century Sainik 303 is designed for interior dry areas and can withstand moderate humidity but should not be exposed to direct water contact. BWP (Boiling Water Proof) plywood is marine-grade and suitable for high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms. For interior furniture in climate-controlled spaces, MR grade offers excellent value.
2) Can Century Sainik MR 303 be used for kitchen cabinets?
Century Sainik MR 303 can be used for kitchen cabinets in dry areas away from direct water exposure, such as tall units, pantry cabinets, and upper wall cabinets. However, for base cabinets near sinks or areas with frequent water contact, we recommend upgrading to BWP marine-grade plywood for better moisture protection.
3) What thickness options are available in Century Sainik MR 303?
Century Sainik MR 303 Plywood is available in multiple thickness options ranging from 4mm to 25mm, including popular sizes like 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, and 19mm. The choice depends on your application—18-19mm for furniture carcasses, 12mm for shelving, and 6-9mm for backing panels.
4) Does this plywood require any surface treatment before painting?
Yes, for best results apply a wood primer or sealer before painting. The smooth sanded surface of Century Sainik MR 303 accepts paints, laminates, and veneers well. Light sanding with 180-220 grit sandpaper and cleaning with a tack cloth will ensure optimal adhesion of finishes.
5) What is the warranty coverage for Century Sainik MR 303?
Century Sainik MR 303 comes with a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, delamination, and core gap issues when used as per recommended guidelines. The warranty is valid for interior applications in dry conditions and requires proper installation and maintenance. Keep your purchase invoice for warranty claims.
