Material Guide

Bagasse board vs plywood for custom furniture

Material choice affects cost, durability, weight, moisture handling and sustainability. There is no single best board for every project.

Bagasse-based boards

Bagasse boards use agricultural residue and can be a responsible choice for wardrobes, shelves and furniture where the right grade and finish are used.

Plywood

Plywood is widely used for strength and moisture resistance, especially in kitchens, utility areas and heavy-use furniture.

How to choose

• Use location and moisture exposure as the first filter.
• Match the board to hardware load and shutter size.
• Choose finish and edge banding carefully for longer life.
