What is a Century WPC Chokhat (Door Frame)?

• Material Composition: Made from a blend of wood fibers (or wood powder) and polymer (plastic-based), which gives it balanced strength and moisture resistance.
• 100% Waterproof: They don’t swell, rot, or deform when exposed to moisture—ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or coastal areas.
• Termite & Borer Proof: Because there’s no raw wood exposed, the risk of termite or borer damage is significantly minimized.
• Warp & Crack Resistance: WPC doesn’t respond to humidity or temperature changes the way wood does, so you get less warping or cracking over time.

Advantages Over Traditional Wooden Door Frames

1. Zero Swelling, Rotting, or Cracking
   Wood tends to absorb moisture, swell, and eventually rot. WPC frames avoid these issues, so they maintain their shape and function better over time.
2. Low Maintenance
   WPC frames do not require frequent repainting or polish. A simple wipe-down is often enough. This saves cost, effort, and time.
3. Durability in Harsh Climates
   In humid areas or during rainy seasons, wooden frames might warp or get attacked by termites. WPC resists these challenges, making it great for bathrooms, external doors, kitchens.
4. Aesthetic Flexibility
   WPC frames can be painted, laminated or veneered to match decor. They offer clean finishes and modern aesthetics.
5. Strength & Screw Holding
   They have good mechanical strength, can hold screws well for hinges and hardware—important for stability of heavy doors.

What to Consider / Possible Limitations

• Cost: Century WPC Chokhat (WPC Door Frame) tends to be more expensive than basic wooden frames or cheaper wood substitutes. The premium is for durability and better materials.
• Weight & Cutting: Because of the density and composite material, cutting or modifying WPC Chokhat may require proper tools and skills. Mistakes might reduce strength.
• Finish Matching: If not done correctly, laminated or veneer finishes may look unbalanced with other wooden elements in the house. The design needs consistency.
• Availability: While CenturyPly has many dealers, sometimes particular sizes or cross-sections may not be available everywhere, especially in smaller towns. Always check stock.

Where & How to Use Century WPC Chokhat or WPC Door Frame

• Bathroom & Kitchen Door Frames: The waterproof nature makes them ideal here.
• Main Entrance Doors: Strong cores and hardware mount-ability make them reliable for heavy use.
• Internal Doors: For bedrooms, living rooms, etc., where you want contrasting textures or painted finishes.
• Institutional / Office Use: Places with heavy foot traffic and changing weather (e.g. office washrooms, school labs) benefit from the low-maintenance aspect.
