That’s an excellent question 👍 — because plywood quality = durability of your interiors. Even the best laminates or hardware will fail if the base ply is weak. In Delhi NCR, most professional designers work with Century, Greenply, or Austin, depending on budget and project type.

Here’s a quick comparison for you:

Sharon Ply → South India brand, also available in NCR, premium.
Kitply → Affordable but entry-level, good for rentals/low budgets.
Action Tesa HDHMR → Alternative to ply, great for shutters/panels, moisture resistant.

✅ Where to Use Which Ply

Kitchens & Bathrooms: Use BWP (Boiling Water Proof) ply from Century/Green/Austin.
Wardrobes & Storage (dry areas): BWR (Boiling Water Resistant) ply is sufficient.
Lofts/Utility: Can go for Sainik or Austin Gold (economical).

💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer

Which brand & grade (BWP vs BWR) do you use in kitchen vs wardrobes?
Will you provide brand bills + ISI marking?
Do you use HDHMR/Marine Ply in high-moisture areas?
Can I choose between Century, Greenply, Austin based on budget?
Do you commit to not substituting local ply without approval?

⚠️ Red Flags

Designer says: “We use good quality commercial ply” 🚩 → too vague.
No bill/warranty card from manufacturer.
No mention of brand embossed stamp on boards.

✅ Pro Tip

Always ask for BOQ with brand + grade mentioned room-wise.
Insist on stamped ply sheets (Century/Green/Austin emboss their logo & ISI code).
Keep a 10–15% budget buffer if you want to upgrade from Austin → Greenply → Century.
