Recent main doors we've carved & installed.
Each one a one-off. The motif, the wood, the hardware, the lock — picked door by door.
Door types
Six categories of doors — each with a different job.

Carved Panel Doors
Solid-frame doors with CNC-carved panels (sunburst, lotus, jali, geometric). Used as main door or formal-room door.

Glass-Insert Doors
Wood-framed doors with frosted, fluted or clear glass — interior doors that allow light without losing privacy.
- Glass: 8 / 10 mm toughened
- Edges: rubber sealed, tight fit
- Best for: study, balcony, vestibule
Wood species
What your door is actually made of.
For main doors, the species matters more than the finish — it dictates how the door ages, how it takes a screw, and how it survives our monsoon.
Burma Teak
The benchmark. Golden-brown grain, naturally weather-resistant, holds carving cleanly, takes screw without splitting.
- Termite-resistant naturally
- Best for outdoor / main doors
- Premium price
- 40+ year service life
Mahogany
Deep red-brown wood, holds gloss finish beautifully. Slightly softer than teak, finishes darker. Excellent for carved doors.
- Rich red-brown colour
- Takes high-gloss PU well
- Termite-treat recommended
- 30+ year service life
Sheesham (Indian Rosewood)
Dark grain, locally-sourced, takes carving well. Slightly more prone to checking than teak but excellent for internal doors.
- Dark walnut grain
- Locally available
- Good for internal doors
- 20–25 year service life
Other species
- Sal — heavy, very durable, used in temple doors
- Acacia — light, budget internal doors
- Pine — soft, for painted internal doors only
- HDHMR / Block board — flush door cores
Frame & Lintel
- Frame stock — 4×3″ teak / sheesham
- Frame anchors — masonry plug + 4″ wood screw, every 18″
- Lintel sealing — silicone weather sealant
- Drip mould — for external doors
Edge sealing
- Top & bottom edge — primer + 2 coats PU
- Hinge cut-out — sealed before fitting
- Lock pocket — sealed before lock install
- Annual — quick wax/polish wipe
What we avoid
- Rubber-wood for main doors
- Unseasoned timber (always KD wood)
- Knot-prone reclaimed wood for outdoors
- Particle / MDF cores for main doors
Finishes
What the door wears on the outside.
Matte PU
Polyurethane paint applied in 3–4 coats with matte top-clear. Most popular finish for main doors — shows grain, hides scratches.
Gloss PU
Same PU base with high-gloss top-clear. Mirror-like sheen, shows grain richly, demands clean wood. Premium look.
French Polish
Shellac-based traditional polish, hand-applied in many layers. Warm, classical, needs annual re-polish.
Melamine
Spray-applied transparent finish — affordable, dries fast, decent durability. Used for internal doors mostly.
Hardware
Brass, antique brass, lion-head — the door's jewellery.
Handles
- Lion-head brass — classical statement
- Plain brass / antique brass — heritage
- Stainless steel — modern minimal
- Black matte — contemporary
Locks
- Godrej / Ozone mortice lock
- Digital pin / fingerprint lock
- 3-bolt safety lock for main doors
- Privacy thumb-turn for bedrooms
Hinges
- SS heavy-duty butt hinges (5″) — main doors
- Concealed pivot — modern frameless
- Hettich / Hafele soft-close — internal
- Ball-bearing hinge — heavy doors
Accessories
- Brass nameplate
- Door viewer (digital / classical)
- Door stopper (floor / wall)
- Welcome bell / chime

How to choose
A five-step shortlist before you pick a door.
Measure the opening accurately
Width & height of the opening + thickness of the wall. A 10mm wrong measurement creates either a 3-finger gap or a stuck door. We measure during site visit.
Pick the wood species first
Teak for outdoor / main, mahogany for carved statement, sheesham for internal, HDHMR for budget internal. Lock this before the design.
Lock the lock standard
Godrej Ultra Plus / Ozone 3-bolt for main doors. Digital lock is fine but always keep a physical fallback for power-cuts.
Decide on carving motif up-front
Sunburst, jali, lotus, geometric, custom — picking the motif decides the tool-path complexity and cost.
Plan for weather sealing on main doors
Edge primer + 2 PU coats + silicone gap-seal at the threshold. Without this, doors swell in monsoon and stick in winter.
Frequently asked
Door-buying questions, plainly answered.
How much does a carved teak main door cost?
A 3.5×7 ft single carved teak door, fully finished and installed, ranges ₹45k–₹95k depending on wood thickness, carving complexity and hardware. Double doors run ₹85k–₹1.8 lakh. Mahogany adds 10–15%.
How long does a carved door take?
10–14 working days for a CNC-carved door: 2 days wood prep, 3–4 days carving & hand-finishing, 3–4 days PU coating & drying, 1 day install. Plain flush doors are 5–6 days.
Can I send my own sketch / reference?
Absolutely. WhatsApp us a sketch, photo or DXF — we'll digitise it, run a test cut on MDF for sign-off, then cut the final on teak/mahogany.
Will the door warp in monsoon?
Not if it's kiln-dried teak + edge-primed + PU sealed + threshold gap properly silicone-sealed. We follow that process on every main door. Warranty covers warping for 2 years.
Do you install in Bhiwadi / Gurugram?
Yes — Rewari, Dharuhera, Bhiwadi, Bawal, Pataudi, Manesar and Gurugram are our regular service belt. Site visits are free in this radius.
