What it is
In Indian homes, timber is used mainly for door and window frames, doors, wardrobes, roofs in traditional houses, and formwork. Teak, sal and engineered woods are common.
Types and key points
- Teak: premium, durable main doors
- Sal and hardwoods: frames
- Plywood and boards: furniture and shutters
- Must be seasoned and treated against termites
Why it matters
Unseasoned or untreated wood warps, cracks or is eaten by termites in Chennai's humidity.
