Traditional Sal or Teak wood door frames were once standard in Uttar Pradesh construction. However, soaring timber costs, environmental deforestation, and devastating termite infestations have made Tata Steel door frames the #1 choice for modern builders. Here is why.
Subterranean termites are rampant across eastern and central Uttar Pradesh. Even chemically treated timber door frames can succumb to termite attack within 5 to 7 years. Tata Steel door frames are completely immune to biological decay, rot, and termite destruction.
A quality seasoned wooden door frame in Pratapgarh costs between ₹6,000 to ₹12,000 per frame plus carpenter fabrication charges. In contrast, a heavy-gauge Tata Structura steel chaukhat costs only ₹2,200 to ₹3,800 complete with pre-welded hinges and anti-rust primer, delivering over 60% direct savings.
