The doors are an important element in making the house look elegant as well as beautiful. They not only enhance the grace and beauty of the room but at the same time act as a secure protection from any outside elements. Talking about Indian doors, the wooden material is used commonly for building most of these doors. But there are variety of wooden material hence it is important to understand which is the best one. Going in for a cheap quality wood would only lead to early wear and tear.
Hence let us have a look at few of the best quality wood that are used mostly for preparing the Indian doors and the window frames.
Teak wood:
The most common variety of wood is teak wood which is used for preparing Indian doors and window frames. There is lot of versatility when it comes to teak wood and also it can also be used in multiple ways.
The reason why it is common is due to its durability and also the ease in maintaining it. You can shape it in multiple ways and also it makes for a good surface.
There are various classes and grade of teak wood. The superior class teak wood options include, dandeli, balarsha and Malabar. The Burma Teak which is black in colour and the C.P teak which is brown in colour are also good varieties that can be used for doors and window frames.
Sal wood:
The Sal wood is considered to be one of the most strongest as well as heaviest type of wooden material that can be used for creating doors and window frames.
It is around 50% on the harder part and 30% on the heavier part thus making it the strongest when compared to teak wood. In case of dried Sal then it would not be an easy to use wooden material since when it gets dried up, you can use saw easily or work on it.
This wooden material is very much resistant to fungus, white ants and also towards any type of infestations even for longer duration of time.
Even when this wood comes in contact with water, still it would not get damaged and instead it would retain its form. The Sal wood is the roughly used one for construction especially the piles, door frames, and beams.
Deodar wood:
Though it is weighed less than the teak wood but still the deodar is also considered to be the strongest one. This wood is pretty much easier to saw and also work upon when it comes to smooth finishes.
Though the deodar wood is not considered to be an ideal choice when it comes to painting or polishing finish.
One of the reason for the same is after it has been polished or painted, it would start to release the oil after certain period of time thus making the finish look bad.
Shisham wood:
The shisham wood is considered to be hard wood just like the Sal wood. This one is also resistant towards fungus, white ants or any type of infestations. Even when it comes in contact with water or any harsh weather conditions, it would not lead to any twist or deformity in the wood.
Even though it is similar to Sal in terms of hard wood, this wood is easier to work upon and you can also use saw on it to shape the way you want to.
The above mentioned wood are few of the best quality that are normally used for creating Indian doors and window frames. However few of the secondary type of wood quality are babul, ben-teak, khair, chir, bahara and so on.
