- **Main door** is the showpiece — invest 20-30 % of door budget here. Teak solid (₹25-65k) is the premium standard with 30+ year life; engineered wood with veneer (₹15-35k) gives teak look at half-cost; steel + wood-finish powder coat (₹12-25k) gives security + low maintenance; FRP / fibre (₹8-15k) is budget choice for rentals.
- **Internal flush doors** are 32-35 mm thick particle board + skin (laminate / membrane / paint finish). ₹4-8k per door installed including frame + lock + hinges. Don't compromise on thickness — 28 mm doors warp + don't soundproof.
- **Bathroom doors** MUST be water-resistant — WPC (Wood Polymer Composite) or FRP / fibre doors only. ₹3-6k each. Standard wooden flush doors swell + delaminate from moisture within 3-5 years.
- **Window frame material choice** drives 60 % of the window cost: (1) **Aluminium basic** (Jindal Sun / Hindalco) — ₹250-400/sqft, lightweight, modern look, conducts heat (bad for AC efficiency); (2) **UPVC** (Fenesta / LG Hausys / Aparna) — ₹400-700/sqft, lifelong (no rust, no rot), better thermal break, good sound insulation, slightly bulkier sections; (3) **Wood** — ₹500-1200/sqft, traditional aesthetic, needs annual maintenance / polish, premium cost; (4) **Aluminium premium / Schueco / Reynaers** — ₹450-800/sqft, thermal break grade, used in luxury / commercial.
- **Glass type matters in proportion to area** — DGU (Double Glazed Unit) costs 4-5× single glass but cuts external heat by 50-60 % + outside noise by 35-40 dB. Worth it for: traffic-facing rooms (highway / main road frontage), AC-heavy homes (returns 30-50 % AC energy savings in 4-5 years), bedrooms needing sleep quality. Single 5 mm float is the standard default.
- **Toughened (tempered) glass** is mandatory by NBC 2016 for: large french doors / balcony sliders (>1.5 sqm area panes), bathroom doors with glass, glass at heights, glass within 1 m of floor where impact possible. Costs ~70 % more than ordinary float glass.
- **Mosquito mesh** is essential in Indian homes — SS mesh in UPVC frame, sliding alongside main sash. ₹250-450/sqft. The single most-skipped item that owners regret.
- **Cost target** for default 2-3 BHK setup (1 main + 4 BR + 2 BA + 7 windows + 1 french + UPVC + 5 mm + mesh + grill): approximately **₹2.2-3.2 lakh**. Basic aluminium + single 4 mm + no DGU: ₹1.1-1.5 L. Premium DGU + premium aluminium: ₹4.5-6 L.
- **Excludes**: structural opening cutting / widening (₹2-15k per opening); decorative iron gate / main entrance gate (₹15-50k); window curtains + rod (₹2-15k per window); roller shutters (commercial, ₹450-900/sqft); skylight (₹15k+/sqft, premium); window AC openings.
**Doors + Windows Package** is one of the highest-spend interior items per Indian home — main door + internal flush doors + bathroom WPC doors + window frames + glass + mosquito mesh + safety grill + decorative jaali. Per-home BOQ adapted for 1 BHK to villa size. Cost dominated by: main door material (teak ₹65k vs FRP ₹8k = 8× range), window frame material (basic aluminium ₹250/sqft vs UPVC ₹600/sqft = 2.5× range), glass type (single 4 mm vs DGU low-E = 8× range), and total window area (depends on home size + design). Typical 2 BHK package with UPVC + 5 mm glass + mesh + grill ₹2.2-3.2 lakh; premium villa with DGU + premium UPVC + teak main ₹6-9 L.
UPVC vs Aluminium — the modern window-frame debate
**UPVC** (Unplasticized PVC) has replaced traditional aluminium in many premium projects over the last decade. **Why UPVC wins**: (1) **Thermal performance** — built-in air-pocket profile + no metal conduction = 35-40 % better insulation than aluminium; reduces AC energy bills; (2) **Acoustic insulation** — multi-chamber profile + EPDM gasket = 32-35 dB sound attenuation vs 18-22 dB for aluminium; critical for road-facing rooms; (3) **Zero rust / corrosion** — coastal climates eat aluminium frames in 8-12 years (Mumbai, Chennai, Kochi); UPVC unaffected; (4) **Lifelong colour stability** — no powder-coat peeling, no oxidation marks; (5) **Better water-tightness** — drainage channels designed into profile, no rain water seepage. **Why aluminium still has its place**: (1) **Slim profiles** for large glass areas (UPVC sections are thicker for the same strength); (2) **Lower cost** at the basic grade (₹250/sqft vs ₹400/sqft for UPVC); (3) **Lighter weight** for very large openings; (4) **Custom colour matching** easier via powder coat. **Verdict**: UPVC for residential at mid-tier + above; aluminium for ultra-large glass walls (uPVC profiles get bulky), basic-grade rental property, or pure commercial.
Single glass vs DGU — when the upgrade pays back
**Single glass** (4-6 mm float or toughened) is the default in 90 % of Indian homes — cheap, simple, transparent. **DGU (Double Glazed Unit)** = two glass panes separated by 9-16 mm argon-filled gap with desiccant + sealed at perimeter; cuts heat + sound transfer dramatically. **What DGU adds**: (1) **Heat reduction** — single 6 mm glass U-value ~5.8 W/m²K; DGU 5+5 ~2.8 (50 % reduction). For 1000 sqft of glass area in a hot-climate home running AC 8 months/year, DGU saves ~₹15-25k/year in electricity. **Pays back in 4-7 years**; (2) **Sound reduction** — single glass blocks 25-28 dB external noise; DGU blocks 38-42 dB. Critical for: highway-facing, near-railway, near-airport homes; (3) **No condensation** on interior surface in winter / monsoon-AC; (4) **Premium look** — clean reveals, no UV bleaching of curtains. **Low-E coating** on DGU adds another ₹200-400/sqft and rejects 70-80 % of infrared (heat) while passing visible light — used in luxury homes + commercial. **Skip DGU if**: ceiling-fan home (no AC), low-noise environment, ground-floor with shade trees, < 200 sqft of glass area total. **Get DGU if**: AC-cooled bedrooms, highway noise, glass area > 400 sqft, hot climate (Gujarat, Rajasthan, AP).
