Fire hazards aren’t anything new, and in India, they’re increasing at an alarming rate. Delhi itself has seen a sharp 14.8% rise in fire-related calls in 2025. Because of this, it is important to safeguard your house against fire. But thanks to modern aesthetics, most houses have wooden furniture, wall panelling and cabinets all over the house. This is a recipe for disaster as wood and fire are like best friends.
So, what to do now? Isn’t there any way to have the best of both worlds? Luckily, there is. It’s called the firewall technology by CenturyPly, and it’s one thing that could save your house from a disaster from fire.
A fire can spread through a room in just a few seconds and ruin the lives of a happy family. There are often house fires that are not planned, but the harm they create is really bad since it can kill people and destroy property. But if you take care of things, they can get better. In that situation, you can always use plywood from CenturyPly for doors and windows. It comes with firewall technology, and you can take the proper actions to end the dangers.
The firewall technology makes sure that the fire doesn't spread too quickly and that the doors and windows don't operate as a medium. A devoted group of professionals has carefully put it together after a lot of research and development work. The different varieties of plywood come with special designs that protect people and property from fire damage.
CenturyPly’s plywood is all treated with Firewall technology, which is a special coating that prevents the spread of fire for a significant long time. The wood is treated with a special patented formula where the flammability, or the amount of time needed for the fire to spread, is reduced significantly. Tests have revealed that it takes 35 minutes for CenturyPly plywood to catch fire, which is quite a lot than most plywood in the market.
But if that seems too low, it is well worth noting that it takes 50 minutes for the plywood to catch fire in the first place. This is because plywood treated with Firewall technology has an extremely low flame permeability, which automatically gives enough time to extinguish the fire.
As we mentioned earlier, most homes today use wooden furniture and cabinets. TV area, wall panels, and even bathroom cabinets are made of wood. In such a case, it is extremely important to have fire-retardant plywood used in your furniture.
If that wasn’t enough, we never know how fire can catch, it can from a single short circuit or even a light cigarette spark, or gas leakage. There are just way too many scenarios to leave it to chance; taking precautions is extremely important when it comes to having fire-retardant plywood in your home.
Also, CenturyPly’s firewall technology generates a lot less smoke, just enough for you to detect something is burning, and quickly extinguish it. If everything else is kept aside, you know for a fact that you’re at peace of mind, and that there is little to no chance that a disaster will strike you or your loved ones.
So, where should you use CenturyPly’s fire-retardant plywood? The answer is simple. Anywhere where it’s likely to catch fire. But that sounds too specific, so here’s a list of places to make it easier.
These spaces come into contact with fire a lot. For example, false ceilings have wires that can short-circuit anytime, modular kitchens are self-explanatory, and commercial spaces are just never safe enough; there are a lot of people, so safety should be an utmost priority. All in all, CenturyPly’s firewall plywood should definitely be used in every furniture being used in these places.
There are fire safety sprays available in the market as well, so how is CenturyPly’s firewall any different? Well, there are some major differences, as the table below explains.
