Why Granite Door Frames (Chaukhat) Are Replacing Traditional Wooden Frames

For decades, wooden door frames (chaukhat) were the standard in Indian home construction. However, modern homeowners and architects are rapidly shifting toward Granite Door Frames. Here is why:1. Zero Termite & Borer InfestationUnlike wood, granite is natural stone and 100% immune to termites, white ants, and borer insects. You never have to spend money on anti-termite chemical treatments.2. Waterproof & Monsoon ProofDuring rainy monsoons, wooden frames absorb moisture, swell up, and cause doors to jam. Granite chaukhat is impervious to water and maintains its exact dimensions in all weather conditions.3. Lifetime Durability & Zero MaintenanceOnce installed with cement masonry, a Kusma Stone Gallery granite frame lasts for generations without requiring repainting or polishing.
