Fire Retardant Plywood

Century
Ply

Wood is naturally an obvious choice when it is a matter of selecting furniture projecting nature’s essence. But being prone to fire, wood is not preferred as a furnishing raw material. But of course developing technology is capable of providing solutions to any problem.

CUses of Fire Retardant Plywood

Advantages of Fire Retardant Plywood

Higher flame penetration time. This means fire resistant plywood doesn’t allow fire flames to spread and enter the layer of the wood surface quickly.

Reduced tendency of catching spark and ignite.

It has a slow burning rate, and hence a decreased likeliness of the fire spreading over the surface of the plywood.

While the best use is obviously in a place prone to fire – that is in kitchen – fire resistant plywood is also used in other public places to minimize the risk of fire. Commonly used as furnishing materials in kitchens of large restaurants, interior woodwork in public theatres or halls, and the wood used in railway compartments.

Low flammability and lesser smoke generation.

Accessorize Classy To Make Your Living Room Attractive


Accessorize Stylishly To Make Your Living Room More Inviting

Accessorizing a home is all about letting your personality shine through your décor, and the fact is, when we think about accessorizing, our living room is the first place that comes to the mind. This room is rather complex as it needs to be as comfortable and inviting as possible.

Picking up big pieces of furniture for living rooms would seem like an easy task, when we think about decorating living rooms. But besides being challenging, it is fun too. Below are some tips that will help you in accessorizing your living room stylishly.

Look to accessorize tables and shelves first

You can find a lot of décor items to beautify tables and shelves in your living room. Beautiful vases, antiques and crystal balls will give the room a richer look. You can also go with little plants for decoration, if you are sincere enough to feed them regularly, so that they don’t die. Flowers will also add a visual appeal and fragrance to your living room.

Arrange accessories in groups

While accessorizing your living room, try to combine items with similar palette, character or texture. There are many ways of grouping accessories – you can group several small items on a tray or in a bowl. If they appear too small to catch the attention, you can keep them over a decorative box or books. For bigger accessories, vary the size of pieces and lean toward using an odd number.

Mix accessories with books

Unless you are living in a library, it is not mandatory to keep only books in your bookshelves. No wonder, books help a lot in warming up a living room, but mixing them with accessories will add glamor. 

Furniture

Before even thinking of accessories, make sure that the furniture you install in your living room is made up of high-quality plywood. Centuryply provides the best plywood range to cater all your furniture needs, and hence is known as the best plywood company in India.  Architect Ply is India’s most premium plywood from the house of Centuryply.

Points

Invest on functional yet beautiful furniture

Get creative with storage

Give a personal touch

Considering your workflow and the things you will need at your fingertips while working, invest upon your office furniture which is functional. And since this office will be a part of your home, make it more attractive and rejuvenating by choosing beautiful pieces of furniture.

Filing cabinet is a very old concept and not very attractive, when you think of a place where you can put papers you use frequently. If you are a kind of person who needs to have something that helps you in remembering where you put what, go for wall storage options like display book shelves or magazine racks.

Don’t make your home office look too bland. Treat it like any other room in your home and add some homely and personal touches to it. A beautiful rug, a printed cushion for your chair, your favorite artwork, a colorful notice board and some family photographs will add interest to the space.

Pick a comfortable chair

Last but not least, you must invest in a comfortable, ergonomically correct and a beautiful seat to place in your home office. Since you are going to spend hours on your office chair, you will need a chair that offers maximum support and comfort but still compliment the rest of your décor.

Whether you need a comfortable chair or any other furniture for your home office, make sure it is made up of a good quality material. You can have your home-office furniture designed with decorative laminates. Century Laminates offers the best in class laminates with trendiest designs to choose from. The Nature Plus range of Century Laminates gives the closest feel of Nature to your furnitures.

Tips to Choose the Right Sofa

A sofa, in many ways is the anchor of a living room. It is a spot where people assemble at and it is usually, what we see first, when we enter any living room. While investing upon a sofa, think that you are going to invest upon something that you will keep for years.





There is so much more to picking the right sofa than just its color and how comfortable it is. Below are some tips to help you choose the right sofa.

Choose the right material

When it comes to choosing the right material for your sofa, keep in mind that visual appearance is important, but functionality is the key.  Who doesn’t like to indulge in a plush, white velvety sofa? Obviously, it is gorgeous and hard to resist. But such material is a dangerous choice when you have small children or pets at home. A velvet sofa is toughest to clean and could end up stained, so choose a material that suits your home ambience the best.

Choose the right size

One of the biggest mistake people make while choosing a sofa is that either they choose it too big or too small in size, as compared to the room. One of the best methods for choosing the right sized sofa is to measure the dimensions of your room first, before going out to purchase. Make sure that after keeping the sofa in place, there is enough space to walk past and around. If there are windows, make sure that your sofa’s height does not hamper any view.

Choose the right style

Decide what kind of furniture style will best suit your living room. Go with a theme, and choose your style accordingly. The styles might include, vintage, modern, rustic and traditional.

Choose the right position

To decide about the position and orientation of your sofa, analyze your lifestyle first. Think what you do the most in that particular space. If you often throw parties at home, go for a semicircular or circular setting with a round table, or if your family uses the living room more, to relax, lounge or read, choose a setting with multiple seating areas, for individuals to enjoy.

While purchasing a sofa, it is worth taking a moment to think, what suits your needs, before buying the wrong one. The above tips would surely help in taking the right decision while selecting a sofa for your living room. Also, make sure that good quality plywood is used in the manufacturing of your sofa. Century Ply, being a renowned plywood company in India provides best quality plywood and decorative laminates for superior quality furniture construction. You can choose from wide range of trendiest Laminates available with Century Laminates.

Centuryply Club Prime is one of the few brands to be made using specially selected hardwood, where each veneer is treated with preservatives prior to pressing. The unique GLP (Glue Line Protection) formula makes the plywood Borer and Termite Proof and it is backed up with a 20-year worry-free warranty.

Understanding Plywood: Ways in Which Plywood is Made Decorative


Understanding Plywood

Ways in Which Plywood is Made Decorative

Decorative Plywood sheets are being extensively used for modern furnishings given the premium quality and texture finish that they offer. Simple wooden plywood can be made decorative in the following manner.

Laminates



Plywood is given the form of decorative laminates like Sunmica (which are nothing but a blend of paper and plastic) by pasting them over the plywood surfaces. The best part about laminates is that they are available in a wide range of colours, patterns and textures. Laminates remain a favourite and are the most common way of decorating plywood furniture and panels.

1

Veneers

Wood veneers are thin slices/sheets of quality woods such as teak, which can be glued over the plywood surface to increase its beauty and make it look richer. To a layman and a casual observer, not much difference is visible between a piece of solid teakwood furniture and one that simply has a teak veneer on the outside. But Veneers are usually known to add to the cost of the overall furnishing.

2

3

Some special types of paints that prevent water contamination have long been used for protecting wood. They also add to the texture beauty of the decorative plywood and is a cost effective alternative to laminates or veneers.

Adding to the texture shine and superior finish, wood polish is usually used on wooden furniture that is made of quality hardwoods such as teak. Decorative plywood sheets come with pre-polished surface. Carpenters prefer to use wood polish (of darker colours) on some parts of furniture (such as the underside of tables and the inside planks of single and double beds) to prevent the surface from waning out with time.

Basic Tips For Selection of the Suitable Bed For Your Bedroom


Basic Tips For Selection of the Suitable Bed For Your Bedroom

A bed is not just ordinary furniture for your bedroom; it is something you are going to use every day, be it for sleeping or taking rest.  If you are looking forward to buy a new one, keep in mind that you don’t buy a bed every now and then. So, plan in a way that you won’t regret your decision later. Below are the tips you should keep in mind while finding bed for your bedroom.

Know the size of your bedroom

First of all, it is very important to consider the size of your bedroom before choosing a bed. A bed too small in a large bedroom can make the entire room seems off and at the same time, you would not like to squeeze around your bed by having a bigger bed, as compared to your room. So, before taking the final decision, take a note of your bedroom‘s size as it will help you choose the bed, in terms of its length, height and headboard as well. You could even write down your bedroom’s dimensions on a sheet of paper, and take that along while going for its purchase.

Consider the theme of your bedroom

Your bed is the focal point of your bedroom. Choose a bed that complements the overall theme and design of your bedroom.  For example, if your bedroom boasts a classical theme, go for a classic bed with traditional carvings on it and then pair it with a beautiful bed sheet. You can ask for others assistance in this area, but it is still better to have an idea of what you really want in your bedroom, before even thinking of buying it.

Who all are going to use it?

This is also a very important thing to consider while you look for a bed. If you are looking for a bed for the master bedroom, good for two people, a queen or kind size bed would be right. If you are sleeping alone, then twin-size bed or queen size bed is enough. If you are looking for a bed for kid’s bedroom, look for the beds that are right for their size. There are specially designed beds for kids, some even with cartoon or comic themes to choose from.  

There are different kind of beds in the market to choose from – Storage beds (divan), canopy beds, sleigh beds, four poster beds, feather beds, platform beds, water beds, trundle beds etc. Be sure what kind of bed you want, which is according to your taste, room decoration and theme.

Decide what kind of bed suits you

Beds can be made from different materials- wood, brass, stainless steel etc. While headboards and footboards of a bed can be made from various materials, its base is generally made with plywood. Plywood bases are preferred as they offer much more firm feel and support to the sleeper while aiding in back support. But, while selecting one, make a note of the best plywood companies in the market. Century Ply is one of the most renowned, plywood brand in India, so you can definitely approach them for a good quality plywood. The company has 8 state of the art manufacturing units in India and is believed to be the manufacturer of best plywood in India.

After all it’s a place, we reach out for, right after we wake up each morning and it is something that freshen us up and promises to give a great start on daily basis.   Bathroom vanity plays a major role in making or breaking your bathroom’s overall design and appeal. It’s simple, if your bathroom vanity is kept in a wrong place, built with a poor quality or mismatched material, or do not hold enough space, the rest of your bathroom will also suffer. To help you end up with a good quality bathroom vanity, here are few considerations.

Placement

Choose a spot for your bathroom vanity that does not mess with your bathroom’s requisites, block door and be too close to the shower. Remember that a vanity plays an integral role in the overall functionality of your bathroom so it needs to have an adequate space around it, making the opening of drawers and doors smooth and easy.

Storage

While deciding your bathroom vanity, take an account of what you truly use and keep in your bathroom. This will help you to decide how much storage you will need in your vanity. Think about the things you use more often and what you would like to have nearby. It is recommended that you add 10 to 20 percent more space than you think you will need. Hanging vanities with drawers can provide a good amount of storage as they can also take the advantage of often-used space around plumbing and will also keep your floor space free for cleaning.

Size

Size is also very important when you elect a bathroom vanity. No matter what your needs are, installing a huge vanity into a tiny bathroom, does not make any sense.

How Plywood is Made Decorative ?


Understanding Plywood: Ways in Which Plywood is Made Decorative

Decorative Plywood Sheets

Plywood is given the form of decorative laminates like Sunmica (which are nothing but a blend of paper and plastic) by pasting them over the plywood surfaces. The best part about laminates is that they are available in a wide range of colours, patterns and textures. Laminates remain a favourite and are the most common way of decorating plywood furniture and panels.

Laminates:

Wood veneers are thin slices/sheets of quality woods such as teak, which can be glued over the plywood surface to increase its beauty and make it look richer. To a layman and a casual observer, not much difference is visible between a piece of solid teakwood furniture and one that simply has a teak veneer on the outside. But Veneers are usually known to add to the cost of the overall furnishing.

Adding to the texture shine and superior finish, wood polish is usually used on wooden furniture that is made of quality hardwoods such as teak. Decorative plywood sheets come with pre-polished surface. Carpenters prefer to use wood polish (of darker colours) on some parts of furniture (such as the underside of tables and the inside planks of single and double beds) to prevent the surface from waning out with time.

Decor Ideas for Outdoors To Make a Good First Impression


Decor Ideas for Outdoors To Make a Good First Impression

Outdoor areas are often overlooked during constructions and renovations, even though they are our first chance to make an impression on guests and neighbors. Sprucing up outdoor spaces like terrace, balcony and pool area can add that much needed boost to our home. In fact, a well- decorated outdoor space can add an entirely new living space in our home. One key to achieve an aesthetic outdoor space is to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. It means, just like we consider decorating every nook and corner indoors, outdoor spaces should get the same attention. Colors and décor accents are a must, but for a stronger statement, you should also consider updating outdoor areas like walls and floors.                    With size no barrier; here are some ways through which you can renew your outdoor area.

Buying outdoor furniture involves same steps as buying indoor furniture, however, with some additional considerations. For example, consideration about weather conditions; of course it matters whether you live in a hot or humid place. Also the furniture you will be using should hold the promise of comfort as well as class. For larger areas, you can implement an outdoor sofa and for tight areas you can simply have foldable furniture. You might also like to have a swing seat to spend those summer evenings in delight.    

Installing outdoor furniture

01

Cladding was initially known as a protective, insulated and aesthetic layer added to the exterior of buildings. However, external cladding like wall cladding and gate cladding is now considered to exhibit class, while still maintaining the primary benefits. A cladding can also be applied to garden walls or be used as a fencing to create a rhythm between indoor and outdoor. With Zykron fiber cement external cladding, your home exterior would be able to withstand worst of external conditions, while lending it a premium look. You can even paint Zykron fiber cement exterior cladding with any color water soluble paint for an unmatched finish and appeal.

Outdoor spaces just don’t feel right without greenery. Trees planted along fences not only provide shade and privacy in our outdoor area, but adds to its beauty also. Along with trees, large tree pots can also be installed to get closer to nature. Being closer to nature makes us happier, healthier and more productive.

A fire pit, a barbecue grill, a DIY pond or decorative fences are proven winners when it comes to adding fun and entertainment outdoors.  An outdoor playhouse for kid’s entertainment will also add excitement to your outdoors. You can also accessorize your outdoors with garden statuary, weatherproof art such as plates, decorative wrought iron and garden plagues and pillows covered with weather-proof fabrics.

Some Incredible ceiling designs to go with!

When decorating homes, we tend to immediately think about the walls, followed by the furniture and then the flooring, but rarely we think about what’s overhead. However, a home ceiling is as important as home flooring and walls. Gone are the times when ceilings were kept white and flat. With the advent of new technologies and obviously, with people going creatively sensible, a ceiling is now considered an important part of the whole room decor.  

Below are some ceiling design ideas that will contribute a big time in your decision of ‘what kind of ceiling would better match your home interior needs’.

Colored Ceiling

White ceilings were typically used to make a room appear bright and big, but why bother when you have a big room with a decent ceiling height. You can apply any color to the ceiling to change the complete look and feel of the room. Dark colored ceiling with add drama and sophistication both.

Coffered Ceiling

Besides creating an illusion of space, coffered ceilings also add class and elegance to any room. With some embellishments, this ceiling type can transform any plain room to a visually appealing one.

Stretch Ceiling

Stretch ceiling is ideal for creating unique and beautiful interiors. Since stretch ceiling is fitted over the existing ceiling, not much fuss is involved in it. Stretch ceilings allow the incorporation of all types of light fixtures, grilles and fixing points.  

Molded Ceiling

From the modern era inspired clean lines to incredibly intricate and detailed designs of the Victorian period, plaster molded ceilings can cater to all the tastes. Moldings allow you to create an entirely new and unique design of your choice. Moreover, they are easy and quick to install and do not shrink, warp or expand with changing season and environment.

Beam Ceiling

Beam ceilings are a great way to add character to any room. Wood in particular is very much appreciated, in fact people look for the aging wood to give a distinct and vintage appeal to their home. This kind of ceiling can give that charm and uniqueness we always seek for our homes.

CNC Cut Designer Ceiling

CNC cut designer ceilings are generally used for industrial interior designs and decor. They can be an interesting choice for those who are seeking for something interesting as well as unique. Their rough and unfinished look makes them stand apart from other types of ceilings.
