Premium, Mid-range or Value?
Tell us what matters — budget, durability, warranty, after-sales and aesthetics — and we'll recommend a brand tier per door category, with an indicative price multiplier and typical warranty range. We talk in tiers, not “best brand” — the right tier depends on your priorities.
Your priorities
How much keeping cost down matters
Footfall, moisture, kids, longevity
Length and credibility of cover
Service network, spares, complaint handling
Look, finish library, design appeal
Internal bedroom, kitchen and utility openings. IS 2202 solid-core matters more than the badge. Weights run 0 (don't care) to 5 (critical); we normalise them before scoring. Brand names here are illustrative families only — we never rank a specific brand as “best”.

Best-in-class build, the longest warranties, the widest finish library and the most reliable after-sales support — at the highest price.

How the three tiers stack up
Intrinsic strengths of each tier across the five priorities. Premium leads on durability, warranty and finish; Value wins on price; Mid-range balances everything.
- Premium
Best-in-class build, the longest warranties, the widest finish library and the most reliable after-sales support — at the highest price.
- Mid-range
The sweet spot for most Indian homes — solid build, branded warranties, a real service network and a good choice of finishes without a premium price.
- Value
Lowest outlay, dependable for everyday internal openings. Thinner finishes and shorter warranties — fine where footfall and moisture are low.
Your tier across every category
Same priorities applied to each door category. Spend up where it counts (often hardware), save where it doesn't — you don't need the same tier everywhere.

Assumptions: tiers (Premium / Mid-range / Value) reflect typical Indian market patterns in 2026. Price multipliers are relative to the Value tier within the same category — not rupee quotes — and exclude the 18% GST that applies to the final bill. Warranty ranges and brand examples are generic and illustrative; we never rank a specific brand as “best”. Indicative only — verify spec, warranty terms and service coverage by brand, city and vendor before buying.
