Hi,
I have a question on the same. Is it water resistant? If it is similar to MDF then layers of sheets will come out due to high humidity. What is the warranty?

Their Contact Us link is not working

You can't put wood to exteriors for sure, rain and sun will cause damage and it will look bad. You can put ceramic tiles 9 * 18. Light weight compared to vitrified. Checkout nitco series they have few with wood finish. Having said that do expect to see the color fade after few years but won't look bad even then.

Then there is another option cement high density boards with 8 coats paint and wood grain finish, the cost is high 120rs/soft for material and 100rs/sqft for painting. Advantage is you can repaint after few years. Lot of people are using this for gates.

You can use wood for exteriors, one inportant thing is you need to maintain it periodically. Not sure who are the good people in bangalore. The links you have provided are not in bangalore.
