Revolutionizing Wood with a Sustainable, High-Performance Alternative
ReIWOOD® is India’s first rice husk-based Natural Fibre reinforced Composite by Reliance Industries, developed using proprietary technology that combines rice husk fibres and advanced polymers to form a strong, durable and versatile material.
Rice husk, a key ingredient in RelWOOD®, is an agricultural by-product that is transformed into a high-performance material solution. This unique composition gives RelWOOD® excellent resistance to water, termites, UV rays and changing weather conditions, while prevent splintering, cracking and rotting over time.
Available in the form of boards and profiles, RelWOOD® can be used across a wide range of interior and exterior applications, including decking, flooring, cladding, wall panelling, partitions and furniture.

Real-Life Water Resistance Test for Interiors & Exteriors
RelWOOD® is a revolutionary natural fibre composite board made using rice
husk and high-performance resins, making it an eco-friendly, sustainable alternative to
plywood, MDF, and tropical hardwoods. With zero wood content, RelWOOD®
offers an
environmentally responsible solution for modern construction and interior applications.
RelWOOD® is a versatile board suitable for both interior and exterior
applications. It is commonly used in:
Façade
Cladding
Decking
Wall panelling
Furniture
Ceiling
Kitchen Cabinet
CNC Jalli
RelWOOD® performs reliably across diverse climatic conditions in
India and globally, making it ideal for home, commercial, and
institutional projects.
RelWOOD® is 100% termite proof, fungus proof, borer proof, 100 % water
proof
which does not swell when comes in contact to water, fire retardant, sustainable making
it a best alternative in comparison to other wood products. These benefits make
RelWOOD® a long-lasting and maintenance-free wood substitute for both
indoor
and outdoor use.
Yes, RelWOOD® is 100% termite, fungus and borer proof with zero wood
composition making it susceptible to wood pests. Unlike traditional wood and plywood, it
contains zero wood particles, making it naturally resistant to all common wood-damaging
pests and microbial growth. This makes it ideal for high-humidity regions like coastal
and tropical areas in India.
To maintain its shape and performance, RelWOOD® sheets should be stored
flat
and evenly supported across their entire length. Avoid:
Leaning boards against walls
Stacking unevenly
Exposing them to prolonged moisture or direct sun while in storage

Know more about Reinforced natural fibre composites
What are natural fibre reinforced composite boards?
Natural fibre reinforced composite boards are engineered materials made by blending natural fibres
such as rice husk, jute, or coir with advanced polymers or resins. They combine the look and
workability of wood with added durability, termite resistance, and sustainability,
making them ideal for decking, cladding, and door frames.
Can natural fibre composite boards be used for furniture?
Yes. NFC boards are designed for interior and exterior furniture applications, including
wardrobes, cabinets, bathroom vanities, and door frames. They offer better moisture and
termite resistance than plywood, making them a sustainable choice for long-lasting
furniture.
How do natural fibre composite boards compare to plywood or MDF?
Unlike plywood or MDF, RelWOOD® which is a natural fibre composite board
is dimensionally stable, resist swelling, cracking, and termite attack, and need less
maintenance. They are also more eco-friendly, as they use renewable fibres and minimize
deforestation.
Are NFC boards suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes, Because of their moisture and termite resistance, RelWOOD® which is
a natural fibre composite boards are ideal for kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and
wet-area door frames. Proper edge-sealing and hardware fitting ensure long-term
durability in high-humidity spaces.
Can natural fibre composite boards be polished or laminated?
Absolutely. RelWOOD® being a natural fibre composite boards have a
smooth, consistent surface that allows painting, polishing, lamination, and veneer
application.
Can NFC boards be used outdoors in furniture?
Yes, but with the right design. RelWOOD® which is a natural fibre
composite board is suitable for garden furniture, pergolas, outdoor seating, and
cladding-integrated furniture as they resist UV, rain, and termites. Always follow
recommended coatings and joinery practices for outdoor use.
