BOILO vs HDHMR — The Most Common Question in Warangal
At One Home Interiors — the authorized Action TESA dealer in Warangal — the most common question we hear from carpenters, architects and homeowners is: "Should I use BOILO or HDHMR for my project?"
Both are Action TESA products. Both are far superior to regular plywood. But they serve different purposes. This guide will help you choose the right board for your specific need in Warangal.
Quick Answer: HDHMR is ideal for most interior furniture and modular kitchens. BOILO is the best choice when you need both boiling water proof resistance AND fire retardancy in the same board.
What is HDHMR?
HDHMR (High Density High Moisture Resistant) is Action TESA's flagship product. Manufactured using German technology with a density above 850 kg/m3, HDHMR is the best alternative to plywood for interior applications. It is moisture resistant, termite proof, screw holding and has a smooth factory finish.
HDHMR is the most widely used board for modular kitchens, wardrobes, TV units and furniture across Warangal, Hanamkonda and Kazipet.
What is BOILO?
BOILO (Born Tough HDF) is Action TESA's advanced high-performance board. It is the only board that is both Boiling Water Proof (BWP) and Fire Retardant (IS:5509 certified). With a surface density of 1180 kg/m3 — even higher than HDHMR — BOILO is designed for extreme conditions where regular boards would fail.

Expert Tip: In a modular kitchen, you can use HDHMR for the main cabinet body and wardrobes, and BOILO specifically for the shutters near the cooking area. This gives you the best of both boards at an optimized cost.
Can You Mix BOILO and HDHMR in One Project?
Yes — and this is actually the most cost-effective approach for modular kitchens in Warangal. Many interior designers and carpenters use HDHMR for the main kitchen carcase and BOILO for the shutters near heat and water exposure zones. Both boards laminate perfectly and the final result looks identical.
