Introduction: Why Wood Protection Matters in Singapore
Singapore’s tropical climate—marked by high humidity, heavy rainfall, and intense sunlight—poses unique challenges for wooden furniture and interiors. Without proper protection, wood can warp, crack, or succumb to mold and pests. At Mretty, we specialize in bespoke wood preservation solutions tailored to Singapore’s needs, combining ENF-grade OSB, aerospace-grade aluminum honeycomb cores, and E0-level eco-coatings to ensure your wood thrives in humidity while embodying timeless elegance. Let’s explore how to safeguard your home’s wooden elements.
Step 1 – Choose Climate-Resilient Wood Protection
Singapore’s humidity demands materials that resist warping and moisture damage. Traditional wood finishes often fail, but Mretty’s ENF-grade OSB sets a new benchmark.
| Protection Type | Mretty (ENF OSB) | Competitor A (Plywood) | Competitor B (MDF) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture Resistance | Resists 90% humidity (ASTM D4442) | Susceptible to 70%+ humidity | Warps at 60% humidity |
| Core Material | Cross-laminated OSB + aluminum honeycomb | Urea-formaldehyde bonded wood | Synthetic resin-bonded flakes |
| Thickness | 25mm (industry standard: 18mm) | 15–18mm | 12–15mm |
| Eco-Certification | FSC-certified, E0-level formaldehyde | Non-certified | E1-level formaldehyde |
Mretty’s Advantage: ENF OSB’s density and aluminum honeycomb structure reduce expansion by 60% compared to traditional plywood. Combined with hidden hinges and 25mm-thick panels, our furniture withstands Singapore’s monsoon seasons while preserving natural grain patterns.
Step 2 – Surface Preparation for Longevity
Proper surface prep is critical for effective wood protection.
Mretty’s Process:
- Deep Cleaning: Remove dust and residues using pH-neutral cleaners and microfiber cloths.
- Sanding: Lightly sand with 220-grit paper to open wood pores (critical for ENF OSB).
- Priming: Apply a wood conditioner to ensure uniform absorption of protective coatings.
For a Marina Bay client, we sanded and primed a 1950s teak wardrobe, revealing its original grain while prepping it for a five-coat E0-level brushing.

Step 3 – Apply Multi-Layered Protection
Singapore’s climate requires advanced protective systems.
Mretty’s Innovations:
- E0-level Five-Coat Brushing: Five layers of non-toxic, water-resistant finish to lock in moisture.
- J-Shaped Groove Design: Allows seamless integration of lighting or cable trays into carved panels.
- Aluminum Honeycomb Reinforcement: Lightweight yet durable, ideal for high-rise living.
A client in Downtown East opted for a hand-rubbed mahogany floor with integrated anti-slip strips—a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.
