Termite-Proof or Just Treated? What Contractors Must Know Before Selecting Plywood in 2025

Termite-Proof or Just Treated? What Contractors Must Know Before Selecting Plywood in 2025

Termite damage is no longer just a rural issue. With rapid urban expansion in areas like Sarjapur, Yelahanka, and Kanakapura Road, even premium projects in Bangalore face termite threats due to soil treatment gaps. Not all “termite-resistant” plywood is made equal.

Common Misconceptions:

  • Spraying chemicals on surface ≠ termite proof

  • Non-BWP boards often claim termite resistance falsely

  • Cheaper plywoods use temporary treatments that fade over time

How to Identify Truly Termite-Proof Plywood:

  • Should be treated during manufacturing, not post-production

  • Core and face veneers must be chemically seasoned

  • Should carry ISI 710 or IS 303 certification depending on application

Khidki’s Reliable Options:

🟠 Khidki Gold Plus BWP Plywood (ISI 710) – 100% termite-proof, boiling waterproof, 25 years warranty
🟠 Khidki Silver Plus MR Neemface – ideal for low-budget wardrobes with naturally termite-resistant neem face

Conclusion
2025 demands accountability from vendors. If your plywood can't resist termites for 15+ years, you're compromising your reputation. Choose tested, certified boards like Khidki’s termite-proof range.
