Reasons why fire-resistant ply is a need of the hour today

Reduces the risks of fire:

Accidents like the eruption of fire occur suddenly, and you have no idea about their occurrence beforehand. Therefore, the aftereffects can lead to extreme losses such as loss of life or property. Being prepared for such events and protecting yourself and your family is better than having to repent later. Making use of fire-retardant plywood in your home is one of the best safety measures you can take.


As the flammability of CenturyPly fire-retardant plywood is less, the chances of ignition are also less. The plywood has been designed after extensive research and using the latest technology. Its nano-engineered particles impart low flammability properties. The use of this plywood decreases the chances of fire accidents in enclosed spaces to a significant extent.

Gives you time to evacuate:

The best way to save yourself from the flames is by evacuating the fire-affected area as soon as possible. However, in most cases, this is not possible as the furniture catches fire so rapidly that evacuating becomes almost impossible. This is where the fire retardant plywood comes to the rescue.

The CenturyPly fire-resistant plywood delays the spread of fire on the surface of materials by about 35 minutes 19 mm thick , and it takes around 50 minutes for the flames to penetrate completely through 19 mm sheet of fire-retardant plywood. This gives you and your loved ones enough time to evacuate the building or call for help. The value of these added minutes is huge when it comes to saving life and property in the face of a disaster.

It has waterproof and weather-resistant properties:

Apart from ensuring safety from fires, the CenturyPly fire-retardant plywood is also weather-resistant and waterproof in nature. It has been designed by highly skilled and experienced professionals who have focused on making it more than just fire resistant. Therefore, this plywood is suitable for use in restaurants or offices where fire-related activities are undertaken frequently, but water exposure is also high.

Borer and termite proof:

Even though borers and termites are small bugs, they are capable of causing huge damage to the best wood-based furniture pieces. Wouldn’t you want to protect the furniture you made with all your heart? The CenturyPly fire-retardant plywood is borer and termite-proof. It fights these bugs as efficiently as it fights fire as it has been treated with chemical properties that help it accomplish both tasks effectively. 

This property of fire retardant plywood makes it a popular choice of architects when designing restaurants, offices and homes. What is more! The plywood also comes with a guaranteed warranty against infestation attacks.

Low smoke generation and emission:

In most cases, the deaths due to fire occur because of the emission of smoke and toxic gases rather than the flames themselves. This is because these toxic gases enter the chest cavity, interfere with the oxygen levels, and cause breathing difficulty. They also hinder the evacuation process. The high technology used in the fire retardant plywood enables it to produce low quantities of smoke and toxic gases like carbon dioxide while burning. This saves lives and ensures that the inhabitants evacuate the building safely.

The above-mentioned properties of fire retardant plywood make it an excellent choice for use in homes, restaurants, or offices where the chances of fire are high. Thousands of lives are lost due to fires in India every year. Not only do fires cause loss of lives, but they also give rise to a huge financial crisis. Therefore, taking safety precautions and using suitable fire retardant materials in your homes and offices is the need of the hour. Making the right choice now can prevent huge losses in the future.
