Behind every shutter is the carcass: the box that carries the weight, holds the hinges and lives with the humidity of the room. The board it is made from matters more than the finish on the front.
What BWP means
BWP stands for boiling water proof. It is plywood bonded with a waterproof resin, so the layers do not separate when they get wet. That makes it the right board for kitchens and bathrooms, where water and steam are everyday events.
How it compares with other boards
- MR (moisture resistant) plywood handles humidity but not standing water, so it suits bedrooms and living rooms better than kitchens.
- Particle board and MDF are cheaper and smooth, but swell if water gets into an edge.
- HDHMR (high density, high moisture resistant board) is dense and stable. We use it for back panels and for CNC-cut details.
- Block board has a core of wooden strips, which makes it stiff over long spans. We use it for shelves.
Edges and hardware
A good board still needs sealed edges. At the Dhriti Wood workshop every panel is CNC cut and edge-banded, so the cut edges are closed before the cabinet reaches your home. Branded soft-close hinges and channels finish the job.
The cabinet anatomy on our homepage shows each of these layers. Hover over the legend to lift them apart.
