You know what hurts more than stubbing your toe? Realising the expensive plywood you bought is not even real.
Yes, fake plywood is a real thing. And sadly, it is sneakier than we would like to admit. One day, you are admiring your new wardrobe, and in the next few days, there is a crack! The shelf breaks, and you find out it was not CenturyPly at all-just a lookalike wearing a fake moustache (figuratively, of course).
In the present market, duplicate plywood is everywhere, and scammers are getting clever. But you? You are about to get smarter. Because when it comes to real plywood, there is only one promise you need to trust, and that is CenturyPromise.
Let’s talk about what makes genuine CenturyPly products worth all the craze in the first place and how CenturyPromise helps you spot them.

Honestly, when a brand becomes that good, the fakes start showing up. And that is exactly what is happening with CenturyPly.
Why? Because CenturyPly plywood is the real deal. You do not just come across a bunch of wooden layers glued together. It is built with care, tech, and top-tier standards.
From bedroom wardrobes to busy kitchens, CenturyPly plywood holds strong, looks sharp, and lasts long. It is no surprise then that counterfeiters are slapping the CenturyPly name on their cheap copies. Because when you have built a name people trust, others try to steal it.

So, how do you avoid getting duped?

Let’s look at the five easy ways to check whether plywood is authentic or not.
A. Look for the ISI Mark
Check for a proper CML/ISI certification mark. But beware, as counterfeiters can fake this too, so do not rely solely on it.
B. Inspect Physical Features
Look at edges, thickness, surface texture, and colour. Genuine boards have consistent levels and smooth finishing.
C. Do the Touch Test
A real board feels smooth to the touch. Run your hand over and inspect for unevenness or layer gaps. Fake plywood often has rough edges.
D. Perform Basic Tests
A nail test or boiling water test helps check the layers and durability. Real plywood holds up; fake ones come apart.
E. Finally - Use CenturyPromise
This is the most reliable method. Scan the QR code on the board with the CenturyPromise app, and you will instantly know if it is genuine or fake.
