Niki Door Quality

[Vishnu2014]

Hi, Can someone comment on quality of the Niki Skin Doors. I heard from one of the carpenter earlier that Niki doors are not of good quality and recommended to go with Jacsons door.

Please comment if you had used Niki doors and faced any issues - Speficically as external or bathroom doors.

Thx,
Vishnu

I had specifically asked for Niki doors and got it fixed during my construction , 5 years back. Still intact , with absolutely zero issues !! I can vouch for their quality.

Hi Vishnu
Nikki brand is well established and standard quality products. In all the brands you get premium, moderate, economical varieties . Every brand has project range products that are made specifically for price conscious and apartment market.
You need to carefully compare the prices with same material standards.
Few methods used to cut the cost
1.Inside core is changed from hard wood to pine wood to MDF to Honey comb fill
2.Outer layer is changed from Ply to HDF to MDF
3.Door thickness 45mm to 30 mm
4.Edge beading for fixing concealed handle changed from 4" to 3" to 2.5"
