Niki doors

[sam_m400]

I have seen in the internet on Niki readymade doors, did any body has used that? . Is it water proof and how reliable is that????

[jackalbda]

I used it for all internal doors of my house , including bathroom doors. I am quite happy with it. I had insisted on Niki to my contractor because of good reviews from my friends about it. Again, it has been only about 5 months , since my construction is over, and hence not too long a time to comment on the durablity aspect of it !!

Thanks . I too visited today to one of there shop and i like there products. Doors can be used to internal/external/water areas.... with teak beading if required. They do have wood which is chemically treated which can be used for bathrooms and water proof . I like it.
@jackalbda : Which type of Niki doors you used for bathrooms???

[jackalbda]

I dint use any different material/model for the bathrooms. It was all the same for all the interior doors. If you go to http://www.nikidoors.com/products.html, you can see them under "Moulded Panel Doors".

Thanks jackalbda and sam_m400! I was also looking for this information.

How much is the cost of the door?
how much on an average will be the cost of the fittings like door knobs, locks?
How much will be the door fitting charge? will carpenter do this? Frame is already placed

I haven;t checked fittings material cost /carpenter charge as need to decide on what type of doors i need, then thought of going with carpenter as we know what activites he need to do .

Just visit the site there are various type of doors including main door with Teak venner/polished looked very good which cost 11700 Rs. There is Skin door which cost around 156 Rs, and bathroom doors which are chemically treated for 125 Rs ,and teak laminate/PVC laminated looks very good at 196 rs. Since they treat everything chemically it very sustainable, and in enquired with my neighour who has put around 6 months back and no compliants or bends. Even we can put external as well with painting/teakk beading below so that moisture wont come as nowdays even Honne are not cured properly .In old day they do cure for at least 6 month before making it ,as nowday they do cut and built shutter so once exposed to environment it can lead to bends. Even they do cut the trees which are not matured ,as in old day they do cut teak after 80 and 90 years ,as nowday those pratices are gone. We need to live thos.. I enquired on Honne cost is more but still bend happens as i have seen in neighbours house ,so dropped that plan....

fitting charged i got 40 Rs per sqft .Need to enquire further today as i mostely i will for for NIKI doors.... I already posted a message (carpenter cost for fitting) on this subject but nobody has replied till now.

thanks Sam, i visited Nikki showroon near jayadeva hosiptal and things where exactly like you mentioned above. I am also planning to go with nikki doors for all internal doors.

Now for main door and pooja door, where can i find good quality, strong teak readymade doors?

Hi

Did any one check with Metro Doors in Chandra Layout.... this guy Kamalesh imports doors from Malaysia and other south east countries and also deals with Doors made from Ahmedabad....

let me know any views.

[sam_m400]

teak front doors/pooja i have put teak ready made doors without any choice. I have two choice one to make by carpenter and another ready made . When you make by yourself taking wood it is so strong by carpenter workmanship is not good which i verified with almost 10. All of them has large gaps in there joints and cost also very high.

Dear Sam;
What is the specification of your teak door and from where did you buy? Cost for 3'6" x7' size main door.
What did you do for internal doors and external door (excluding main door).
