Have you ever installed a new door in your home — feeling excited and proud — only to face swelling, bending, termite attack, or colour fading within a few months?

Most homeowners don’t know how much climate, moisture and material quality impact a door’s lifespan.

A wrong choice leads to:
• repairs
• repeated maintenance
• frustration
• unnecessary costs

I’ve seen countless families install beautiful wooden doors… and then after 6–12 months:
• they start rubbing the floor
• the frame becomes uneven
• the surface begins cracking
• termite dust appears
• the door feels heavy and hard to open
• bathroom doors deteriorate the fastest

Almost everyone says:
“We didn’t know what to check before buying…”

After installing thousands of FRP & WPC doors/frames in homes, apartments, hotels and commercial spaces, we have discovered that most problems come from just seven common mistakes.

If you avoid these mistakes, you will never have door issues again.

Across 1000+ projects, we observed something surprising:
80% of door complaints come from the same 7 mistakes — regardless of house size or budget.

Let’s understand each one.

1. Choosing Doors Only by Looks (Ignoring Performance)

People usually select doors based on:
• colour
• polish
• design
• panel pattern

But doors must handle:
✔ moisture
✔ heat
✔ dust
✔ daily use
✔ termites

A good-looking door that fails in 6 months is a bad investment.
That’s why always choose both: Design + Durability.

2. Ignoring the Door Frame Quality

The frame carries the door’s entire weight.

If the frame is weak:
• the door misaligns
• gaps appear
• the lock doesn’t sit properly
• swelling happens
• hinges loosen

This is why WPC frames have become the preferred choice over wooden frames — they are:
✔ termite-proof
✔ moisture-proof
✔ strong
✔ stable
✔ long-lasting

A good door on a bad frame = waste of money.

3. Not Checking Termite Resistance

Termites silently destroy wooden doors & frames.

Once infected:
❌ The door must be replaced
❌ Chemical treatment is temporary
❌ Structure weakens from inside

FRP and WPC eliminate this problem entirely:
100% termite-proof for life.

4. Using Wrong Doors for Bathrooms & High-Moisture Areas

Most wooden doors cannot survive:
• bathroom moisture
• steam
• wet floor
• monsoon humidity
• coastal climate

This leads to:
• swelling
• bending
• peeling
• cracks

Our FRP Doors are designed for ALL applications:
• Internal rooms
• External entrance
• Bathroom & toilet
• Kitchen
• Balcony
• Wash area

One door — multiple uses — ZERO swelling.

5. Comparing Doors Only by Price, Not by Life Expectancy

Big mistake.

Wood looks cheaper initially but has several hidden costs:
• polishing
• repainting
• termite treatment
• repairs
• replacement

FRP/WPC doors require:
❌ No polishing
❌ No repainting
❌ No termite treatment
❌ No maintenance

Over 10–15 years, FRP/WPC becomes far more economical.

6. Not Understanding Door Core Materials

People rarely ask what’s inside the door — even though the core determines strength.

At Tulsi Fibre Glass Industries, we use:

PU-Foam Core
Lightweight, strong, great insulation, excellent for bathrooms & interiors.

Honeycomb Core
Economical, stable, long-lasting, suitable for regular home usage.

Both cores are good — we recommend based on your specific requirement.
This is based on 18+ years of our manufacturing experience.

7. Choosing Based on Carpenter Suggestions Alone

Carpenters often recommend what THEY prefer, not what YOU need.

Sometimes they choose:
• materials easy for them to work on
• what they have used for years
• what the local shop sells

But the right choice should depend on:
✔ usage area
✔ climate
✔ moisture level
✔ expected lifespan
✔ budget
✔ maintenance comfort

Always evaluate material scientifically — not traditionally.

Simple Checklist to Choose the Right Door

Before buying any door, ensure it is:
✔ Waterproof
✔ Termite-proof
✔ Suitable for ALL home areas
✔ Has strong & stable core (PU or Honeycomb)
✔ Installed on WPC frame
✔ Long life (15–20 years)
✔ Backed by manufacturer warranty

Final Recommendation

For the best performance in Indian climate:
FRP Doors + WPC Door Frames

This combination gives:
✔ Zero swelling
✔ Zero termite issues
✔ Zero maintenance
✔ Long life
✔ Perfect for both internal & external use
✔ Ideal for bathrooms
✔ Elegant look + high strength

It’s the safest, smartest, most durable choice for modern homes.
