Tables have always been around and are an integral part of any house. Tables when added to a space give character to the room. It also adds extra space and a chic quality to a boring dull room. Let us not ignore the fact that we all spend a lot of time with people around tables and they are the center of a lot of memories. Some of our best moments with friends, family, and loved ones are spent around a table. Believe it or not but tables play a big part in all of our lives. From our home to office, if you look around you’ll find a table ready to make some memories. Let’s see if we can find the right plywood for table.

Tables are of many many different kinds;

Dining Table – The most popular and one of the most used ones is called Dining Table. A Dining table is a large, ideally rectangular shaped table made to be used for eating with people around. If not always for eating it is used as a chic item to be put in a room. It ideally is located closer to the kitchen. Thus, choosing the right plywood is very important.

Coffee Table – This is also one of the most popular ones. It is much smaller in size than the dining table. It is generally kept near a sitting area, near a couch or in front of a Television as part of the living room area. You can place food or drink items on it, or use it to display coffee table books, plants, or small knick-knacks. A coffee table is only as good as plywood selected for it.

Bedside Table – Another type of table which is very popular is the bedside table. It is your bedside buddy for lamps, phones, or anything important which you need all within easy reach. It is smaller than the coffee table and is placed right beside the bed and ideally never moves. It also has drawers where you can store your belongings. Bedside tables are also the highlight of all the hotel rooms. Choosing the right Plywood for table is very important when it comes to bedside tables.

How to select the right plywood for tables 

Thickness – A table should be made to withstand a good amount of load. Often than not we do keep heavy items on tables and they should be able to take the load. So, while selecting the plywood for tables, the thickness should be taken into consideration very seriously. We recommend 30 mm thick plywood for tables. Wigwam has many options when it comes to thickness.

Calibrated Ply – Calibrated Plywood is the most modern type of plywood that is manufactured using machines for uniform thickness and evenness, making it the best product for post lamination processes and crafting modular furniture. All Wigwam plywoods are calibrated which provides immaculate evenness and brilliant finish, making it a great choice for plywood for tables.

Microbe Free – Post COVID, all our decisions revolve around safety and the idea of feeling safe. Though we have never paid much attention to our plywoods being safe, plywood can also bud viruses, bacteria and even emit harmful fumes. Thankfully, Wigwam Plywoods are 99.9% virus-free. It even fights other microbes like bacteria making it the perfect plywood for table.

Termite Proof – One of the most important features that plywood for table should have is to be termite-proof. Termites can eat through anything and are attracted to wooden furniture. To protect your tables, the plywood used should always be termite proof. All Wigwam plywoods are termite proof.

Water Proof – Tables are one of the most water averse furniture that there is. Every day or other some liquid falls on the table, from water to coffee to wine. A table has to withstand and be ready for any kind of liquid. Thus, getting waterproof plywood becomes very important. We recommend only BWP grade plywoods. BWP plywood means it’s boiling waterproof. Be aware of BWR and MR graded plywoods; sometimes just to make sales they are sold as waterproof but they are water-resistant and moisture-resistant respectively. Wigwam has a wide range of waterproof plywoods on offer. 

Fire Retardant – Since sometimes tables can also be exposed to flames or very high temperatures; it is advisable to have plywood that is fire resistant. Fireproof plywoods are a myth. But your plywood for table can be fire resistant; usually called fire retardant. It increases the time taken to burst into flames, thus fighting the fire. Wigwam has a lot of options of fire retardant plywoods one can use to make their tables.Wigwam Visor and Wigwam Contender are the best plywood you can use. Both of them come with high load bearing capacity, are waterproof, fire retardant and immune to viruses and other microbes. Thus, making them the quintessential plywood for tables.
