Marine / BWP Plywood · 18 mm
18mm Marine BWP Plywood Price in Ahmedabad
The heaviest and most expensive board in the range, and the only one specified for a full modular kitchen carcass carrying a stone counter over a permanently wet floor.
18mm Marine BWP Plywood — Price & Specification
18mm Marine / BWP Plywood is priced at ₹110 per sq ft in Ahmedabad, which works out to roughly ₹3,520 for a full 8 × 4 ft sheet (32 sq ft).
18mm Marine BWP is the structural waterproof board. A modular kitchen carcass built from it carries the weight of a granite or quartz counter, keeps its square under load, and does not care that the floor beneath it is mopped every day.
At ₹110 per sq ft it is the priciest sheet we stock, and it should be used deliberately — frames and wet-area structures only, with thinner Marine grades taking the backs, bottoms and shutters.
Marine (BWP — Boiling Water Proof) plywood is bonded with phenol-formaldehyde resin. It is fully waterproof and termite-resistant, which makes it the grade to specify for kitchens, bathrooms, utility areas and anywhere adjacent to the outdoors.
