Teak (Sagwan): ₹2,500-5,000/CFT — premium। Sal: ₹1,500-3,000। Sheesham: ₹1,500-2,500। Pine: ₹800-1,500। Rubber wood: ₹600-1,000। Plywood alternative: often more practical in Indian climate (termite-treated, moisture-resistant)।
Termite
Termite treatment: ₹5-15/sq ft। ESSENTIAL in India — termites destroy unprotected wood in 2-5 years। Borate treatment or pressure-treated wood।
