Exquisite Chequered Plywood for Elegant Interiors
Embrace the exquisite beauty of Chequered Plywood, transforming your space into a haven of elegance.
Back to the past: The history behind discovery/ invention:
The Art Deco Era movement in the 1920s and 1930s had a significant role in the development of chequered plywood as this era witnessed the growth of the utilization of geometric patterns on the plywood. The structural integrity of this plywood is also thankful for the advancement of the plywood manufacturing process which bloomed in the 19th century.
Question pops:
What is the difference between chequered plywood and pre-laminated plywood? In the case of chequered plywood, the pattern is engraved on its surface whereas in the case of pre-laminated, a thin sheet of laminate is glued on the top of the plywood.
Popularity rate:
This chequered plywood is highly used in the area which demands anti-slipping properties as its surface is rigid. It is mostly used as a flooring material.
Chopra's chequered plywood: ringing to rigid surface
Chopra’s chequered plywood has load-bearing capacity due to extra compression techniques and is impregnated with RPF resins, which is a type of resin that is used to enhance performance and increase its utility in various applications. Impregnating with RPF resins holds 30% of the overall weight of the plywood.
Applications of chequered plywood:
- Flooring: Boat flooring as it is rigid
- Steps and stairs: Secure foot grip due to its texture.
- Walls and ceiling: Used in some industries for its durability and soundproof qualities.
Benefits of chequered plywood:
- Anti-slipping properties: The chequered plywood anti-slipping properties can be enhanced by a manufacturing process in which a rigid pattern is engraved on its surface.
- Chequered plywood also exhibits soundproof qualities which makes it a carpenter's choice for walls and ceilings in the industrial sector.
