If you are building a new home in Kalani Nagar or renovating an old apartment on Aerodrum Road, you are likely facing the classic dilemma: Traditional Wood or Modern Aluminium?

For decades, wood has been the symbol of luxury in Indian homes. But in a city like Indore, where the summers are scorching and the monsoons bring heavy moisture, wood often becomes more of a burden than a beauty.

At Raj Aluminium, we have helped hundreds of local families make the switch. Here is a no-nonsense comparison to help you decide which material deserves a place in your home.

1. The Termite Threat: A Dealbreaker

The Problem with Wood: In Madhya Pradesh, termite infestation is a silent home-wrecker. No matter how expensive your teak or sal wood is, it is organic matter—food for termites. Treating it requires toxic chemicals and constant vigilance.

The Aluminium Advantage: Aluminium is metal. Termites cannot eat it. It’s that simple. By choosing Aluminium Fabrication for your windows and partitions, you are effectively “termite-proofing” that part of your home forever.

2. Monsoon Battles: Swelling vs. Stability

The Problem with Wood: Have you ever struggled to close your wooden bathroom door or window during the rainy season? Wood absorbs moisture from the air, causing it to swell and warp. This “monsoon jamming” damages your paint and floor tiles.

The Aluminium Advantage: Aluminium is completely waterproof and does not expand or contract with humidity.

• Pro Tip: For bathrooms, our P.V.C. Doors (as listed in our service catalog) are the perfect waterproof partner to your aluminium windows, ensuring zero rot and zero jamming.

3. Maintenance: The “Polishing” Headache

The Problem with Wood: To keep wood looking fresh, it needs sanding, varnishing, and polishing every 2-3 years. In the dusty environment of a growing city like Indore, sticky varnish attracts even more dust.

The Aluminium Advantage: Aluminium windows are virtually maintenance-free. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is all they need. The powder-coated finish protects them from rust, fading, and peeling for decades.

4. Aesthetics: You Can Have Both!

This is the biggest myth we hear at our Anjani Nagar showroom: “But Ali bhai, aluminium looks like an office, not a home.”

The Solution: That might have been true 10 years ago, but not in 2025. At Raj Aluminium, we offer Wood-Finish Aluminium Profiles. These profiles go through a special sublimation process that imprints realistic wood grains (like Walnut, Mahogany, or Oak) directly onto the metal.

• Result: You get the warm, rich look of wood with the strength and termite resistance of aluminium. Your guests won’t know the difference until they touch it!

5. Cost and Value

While high-quality teak wood has become prohibitively expensive due to deforestation regulations, aluminium remains affordable.

• Wooden Window: High initial cost + High recurring maintenance cost.

• Aluminium Window: Moderate initial cost + Zero recurring cost.

The Verdict

For Indore’s climate and modern lifestyle, Aluminium wins hands down. It is durable, eco-friendly, and saves you money in the long run.
