Puri presents perhaps the most demanding interior design challenge in all of Odisha: relentless Bay of Bengal humidity, direct salt-air exposure, and monsoon seasons that test every material in a home. AK Interiors has developed a specific material specification for coastal Puri projects that goes beyond our already-stringent Bhubaneswar standard.
Why Puri Homes Need a Marine-Grade Approach
Puri’s proximity to the sea means:
- Year-round humidity above 70% — significantly higher than inland Bhubaneswar
- Salt-air corrosion — damages hardware, accelerates delamination in lower-grade plywood
- Monsoon flooding risk — kitchens need to be able to handle occasional floor water contact
For a Puri home, we specify:
- All woodwork (not just kitchen) in IS:710 BWP marine plywood
- Stainless steel hardware (not zinc alloy) in bathrooms and near windows
- Sealed edge banding on every panel edge to prevent end-grain moisture absorption
