India's construction sector is shifting from traditional wooden chaukhats to Pre-Painted door frames. In this comparison we break down cost, durability, termite resistance, fire safety, and maintenance — and show why modern frames win on every count.

In this article, we do a detailed head-to-head comparison across key parameters to help builders, architects, and homeowners make an informed decision.
