No, not with normal day to day usage but accidents may scratch anything for that matter.However, PU paint is more likely to get scratches in comparison to other hard surface finish say laminates. It requires a bit mare careful handling if you want it to retain the look for a longer time. I am assuming cost cutting is your objective, you can select MDF for wall cabinets. It is quite prevalent nowadays. Thanks. Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

Sajeesh, From our experience, Century and Greenply are good. But they are atleast 20 percent costlier. Kitply is also reliable brand. Anyways always buy from company authorised distributors. There are a lot of duplicates being sold for plywoods. You can expect 80-90 per sqft for a decent ply. Cheaper ones would start at 45 per sqft. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.

Renovation:: Do you really need to dump all old things?
Q

Thanks for both of your responses CUBSpaces team and Shweta from Shades studio. It really gives a clarity about possible consequences. I am now doubt free about changing whole things in Bathroom as it will be interconnected. However will appreciate your opinion on few things: 1. Kitchen wall tiles: I have those from countertop height to roof(almost area of 6X15 feet) which are good and not hollow. I changed countertop 5 years back without any damage to these tiles. It might cost me another 10-15 K, but I feel the whole process and quantity of wasting old good tiles makes me little sad. 2. kitchen countertop: Made new around 5 years back. I don't expect to get it all intact. But large pieces can be cut and can be used as top for other freestanding structures like dishwasher, front load washer, heighten base cabinets, etc. 3. Plywood: I don't mind giving enough labour charges for old sheets recycle. I am planning to use doors, loose sheets(like kept on bed frame of settee frame.) or parts of big frames like settee. I am keen on reducing waste than to save money. You can see various DIY ideas by western people, who remove or sand laminates and re-paint furniture, or carefully remove hollow tiles and re-attach them. Some are also re-painting ceramic tiles. I am just asking myself: Are we creating more and more waste by use and throw approach every 10-15 years, just because we can afford it?

So i’m guessing you’re saying that oil paint/enamel paint looks cheap? That makes sense cause whilst i was growing up, the govt quarters came with oil painted doors and it chipped off in a few years in a sorry state. Don’t want that. So oil paint is out? What I’m gathering is that PU paint is not just paint. It’s a process? So you prime and paint(?) first and then do a protective coating of PU with the thinners and the additives? Am I getting this right? :P

Due to their durability, convenience, flexibility and for being cost-effective. The three popular types of plywoods that are preferred in making kitchen cabinets and shutters are
1. MR Grade Plywood: Also known as commercial plywood, this plywood is the cheapest among the three. MR (moisture resistant) grade plywood is resistant to water to a certain degree but it is not waterproof. Hence, this plywood works best, when you are planning a semi-modular kitchen or when the kitchen cabinets that you intend to fit are not near a water source like tap/sink.
2. BWR Plywood — BWR (Boiling Water Resistant) plywood is a bit costlier than MR Grade plywood but cheaper than Marine Grade Plywood. In terms of resisting water/moisture level, they are far better than commercial plywood. This is most favoured for both interiors and exteriors. The resistance to water makes it suitable for all weather conditions. It is commonly used in the bathrooms and kitchens where exposure to water is high.
3. Marine Grade Plywood — It is the strongest from the above two plywoods and is far better in resisting water exposure compared to other plywoods. In fact, it is not prone to damage even after keeping it submerged for 72 hours. These are the primary reasons why Marine Grade Plywoods are costlier than other plywoods and used chiefly in marine applications.
  
  Now when you compare all the three, then MR Grade Plywood is the ‘most affordable’ and Marine Grade Plywood is the ‘best’. However, if you ask me which plywood would I choose from the above, then I would say go for BWR/BWP grade plywoods. Though they are not the cheapest, they are definitely high in quality and reasonable to the pocket.
