Best Plywood Solutions for Monsoon-Proof Home Interiors

July 18, 2025

With the formation of monsoon clouds and the first drops of rain hitting the ground, homeowners in India know that not only will the heat begin to dissipate, but it is also a time to be extra vigilant in taking care of their interiors. The constant humidity that one has to endure, in addition to the possibility of differential water levels entering your home, can wreak havoc on the aesthetic and longevity of your home. Swelling cabinets, door damage, and the potential for termite infestation become realities. This is where one realises the importance of choosing the proper plywood, particularly waterproof plywood.

Royale Touche, a name synonymous with quality and innovation in the plywood industry, understands this struggle well. We offer an extensive line of plywood solutions to create interiors that are the least stressful and truly monsoon-proof, ensuring peace of mind and beauty even during the deluges. This blog provides an overview of the waterproof plywood options available to you through Royale Touche so that you can make the best decision for your situation and keep your home a safe and beautiful oasis.

Waterproof Plywood: More Than Just Resistance

It is essential to distinguish between moisture-resistant (MR) plywood and waterproof plywood. While MR plywood can tolerate some humidity, it isn't the ideal choice for direct or prolonged exposure. Waterproof plywood is engineered to withstand considerable moisture without compromising its structural integrity. This is achieved using superior-quality adhesives, such as phenol-formaldehyde resin, and a well-controlled manufacturing process that combats delamination and warping even under challenging conditions.
