I am talking with interior companies. Most of the companies, they make ready all kitchen cabinates and wardrobe with either lamination or PU coat at their workshop. Based on the discussion, we finalize the wood. Suppose If I finalize the Green gold Plywood with BWP for my flat. Once they ship at my flat, how do I verify whether it is plywood or else like MDF/partical wood....etc. Please suggest me. Thanks in advance. vivekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920760481223600370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950547958579509377.post-81401582713233205502018-01-06T19:02:18.755+05:302018-01-06T19:02:18.755+05:301.

Dimension is roughly 6.8ft X 6ft for wardrobe with a loft of another 2.2ft. I wish to use an acrylic finish for the entire wardrobe exterior on a good quality ply of 19mm. As i was going for a factory press, they have suggested me for a calibrated plywood. Can you suggest me any good trusted brand, which has a calibrated ply of 19mm. Also any brand for acrylic sheets with 1 mm thickness.
