For many years, most people use cedar to plank the walls of wardrobes and closets, to prevent moths from eating the cloth. It is said that the high concentrations of cedar oils can kill moth larvae. Plus adds a nice aroma to the closet.In terms of bricks or marble, both are porous and will hold humidity. This after time can cause musty smell in your clothing which is an indication of mold and mildew present in the brick or stone. This however, depends on where you live. Hot climates like Arizona it should not be a problem. You could apply a good 15 to 20 years penetrating sealer which would help to prevent that moisture build up.

@corner Stone designs. sorry if I had given an impression it mud slinging. but objectively speaking the suggestion to go for a chimney just because someone asked for it instead of addressing the real issue us not what I intended to do. one has to understand all the negatives as well veggie going in for a decision . just like you have the right to suggest there is nothing wrong in pointing out the issues in the proposed solution. none of us are internet warriors but most of us are "sold" items that we will never need in our life by creating an illusion. I know that dinner call it business but I am not in such one and I have the luxury to call a spade a spade. Even now the person who asked for is not sure in what they want but they think that a chimney will solve the issue. engineering doesn't work that way. unless we know what the real issue us, which isn't clear if it is the smoke or the smell and the your of food cooked, the frequency, the 80/20 utility of the kitchen we are not even close to understanding the problem. my intent is to emphasize the importance of understanding the problem and then look for issue and not provide a ready made solution. we can all suggest something by seeing a picture that fire will come and catch the chef if it is located in the window but do you think that what you say is practical. you may construct this as much slinging be as a novice I have a genuine question. how many houses have such a fire accident. we don't even know if the stove is electric or gas. if it is electric then they just no question of fire. so I encourage you to objectively approach and not see this as a mud slinging thing as that's not the point.

Aditya, Try to use plywood instead of blockboard for carcass. Be cautious of the extended loft as you have used blockboard there as well. You know your usage best but the hanger space looks too less and cramped in 'his' section. I am not sure if your shirts would fit in height as well. Please recheck. Ladies usually prefer a taller hanging section for suits etc. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

18mm ply with 1mm laminate and .8mm interior laminate makes it 19.8mm when finished ~20mm. What edge banding to be used in such case? I am also getting a similar excuse that the with 16mm ply , the finished product is ~18mm and can use an 18mm edge banding but in the market there is no edge banding to use for 18mm ply
