The landscapes of Uttarakhand are renowned for their stunning views but the heavy rainfall and humidity can cause serious issues to your building materials. Traditional wooden doors and window frames have been used for generations for walls, doors and window frames. However, pairing natural wood with months of heavy rain can cause serious problems.
If you are tired of your doors sticking and your frames rotting during July and August, then it is time to look into using a modern engineered solution such as our Wood Polymer Composite (WPC).
Issues With Using Traditional Wood In Wet Conditions
Traditional timber may look great but it is very susceptible to changes due to its cellular structure. This will cause the following issues during Uttarakhand’s monsoon season:
Swelling & Warping
Wood is naturally porous. This means it will absorb the moisture from the high humidity and heavy rain causing it to swell. This will result in your doors and window sticking, misaligning locks, and damaging surrounding plaster.
Fungus & Termites
The dampness will encourage fungus and mould to grow on your wood. This will cause the wood to lose its structural integrity from the inside, inviting relentless subterranean termite infestations that hollow out door frames.
High Maintenance
To ensure your wood looks great and won’t be affected by water, you will need to constantly sand, polish, varnish and chemically treat the wood year after year—costing thousands in recurring labor and chemicals.
"Pairing natural wood with months of heavy hill rain causes persistent swelling, wood-rot, and termite infestations. Modern Wood Polymer Composite is the permanent engineered answer."
Alstone WPC
Wood Polymer Composite (WPC) is a highly durable material made by mixing high quality thermoplastics with virgin wood fibre. This creates a material that looks like high quality natural wood but with the durability of polymers.
Alstone WPC is the perfect solution for areas with heavy seasonal rainfall. It eliminates water absorption entirely while retaining the rich density, screw-holding strength, and elegant warmth of hardwood.
Alstone Leading WPC Market In All Over Uttarakhand
It comes as no surprise that Alstone are leading the WPC market in all over uttrakhand. Alstone WPC products are specially designed to withstand the extreme weather conditions in cities such as Haldwani, Nainital, Dehradun and Haridwar. Our strong eco-friendly composite profiles are fully certified for use in construction by major government departments such as PWD, CPWD and MES and have an official GRIHA green rating.
100% Waterproof
Alstone WPC is completely waterproof due to the high density and non porous nature of the product. This means it will not swell, contract, rot or warp due to the heavy rain or high humidity. Your doors and windows will always open and close smoothly, no matter how many inches of monsoon rain fall outside.
100% Termite Guarantee & Fire Retardant
Alstone WPC contains high strength polymers so it is completely termite proof. You will never have to worry about your door frames being eaten away by termites. Alstone WPC is also fire retardant, featuring self-extinguishing properties that dramatically enhance home safety.
No Maintenance Required
You will no longer need to varnish your doors every year. Alstone WPC products come with high quality finishes. This means your product will retain its structural integrity and finish for years with just a simple wipe down. It is UV resistant so will not fade, discolor, or crack in the scorching summer sun.
