Walk into any older home in Indore, and look at the bottom 6 inches of the bathroom door. What do you see?

Peeling paint? Black mold? Wood that has swelled up like a sponge?

This is the “Bathroom Door Dilemma.” In our Indian homes, where we use buckets and mugs for bathing, the bathroom floor is almost always wet. Traditional Wooden Flush Doors simply cannot handle this daily water exposure. They act like a sponge, soaking up moisture until they rot, warp, and eventually get stuck in the frame.

At Raj Aluminium, we believe you shouldn’t have to replace your doors every 3 years. That is why we recommend switching to Decorative PVC Doors—the modern, permanent solution for wet areas.

1. The Problem: Why Wood Fails in Bathrooms

Wooden doors are organic. When exposed to the humidity of a hot shower or direct splashes of water:

• Swelling: The wood fibers absorb moisture and expand. This is why your bathroom door becomes hard to close (jams) during the monsoon season.

• Rotting: Once the water penetrates the bottom edge, it creates a breeding ground for fungus and black mold, which eats away the door from the inside.

• Termite Magnet: Damp wood is the favorite food of termites. Once they start on your bathroom door, they can easily spread to your door frames and cupboards.

2. The Solution: 100% Waterproof PVC Doors

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a synthetic plastic polymer that is naturally immune to water damage.

• Zero Swelling: You could submerge a PVC door in a tank of water for a year, and it would stay exactly the same size. No more “monsoon jamming.”

• Termite Proof: Termites cannot eat plastic. Installing a PVC door in your bathroom breaks the termite chain in your home.

• Hygiene: Unlike wood, which traps bacteria in its pores, PVC has a smooth surface that can be wiped clean with detergent, keeping your bathroom hygienic.

3. Myth Buster: “But PVC Looks Cheap!”

A decade ago, PVC doors looked like flimsy, grey plastic sheets found in public toilets. That has changed.

At Raj Aluminium, we stock Designer PVC Doors that are virtually indistinguishable from expensive wooden doors.

• Wood Grain Finish: We offer doors with high-quality laminate textures (Teak, Oak, Wenge) that match the rich look of your bedroom furniture.

• Solid Feel: Our “Solid Panel” PVC doors have a sturdy weight and feel, not the hollow “plastic” sound of cheaper alternatives.

• Glass Inserts: Want more light? We can customize PVC doors with frosted glass panels or decorative stained glass designs.

4. The Cost Advantage

Here is the best part: A high-quality waterproof PVC door costs significantly less than a polished teak wood door.

• Wooden Door: High Purchase Cost + Polishing Cost + Rot Repair Cost = Expensive.

• PVC Door: Low Purchase Cost + Zero Maintenance = Savings.

Conclusion: Make the Switch Today

Don’t let a rotting door ruin the look of your beautiful home. Upgrade to a solution that is waterproof, termite-proof, and stylish.
