WPC: ₹200-500/sq ft (monsoon-proof!)। Teak: ₹400-800। IPE: ₹600-1,200। Subframe: every 40-50 cm। Indian monsoon: WPC or composite safest choice — wood rots without constant care।

Apartment balcony decking: growing Indian trend। Waterproofing below essential।
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
The most overlooked deck expense: hidden fasteners. Face-screwing is the cheapest method ($0.02/screw) but leaves visible screw heads that collect dirt and moisture. Hidden clip systems ($0.25-0.50/board-foot) create a clean surface with no visible fasteners — worth every penny on a composite deck where aesthetics matter.
