Eco Door Material Selector
Set your budget, the exposure and your top priority — carbon, durability, health or recyclability — and get a matched sustainable door material with reasons. Indicative India 2026; confirm with a manufacturer EPD or certification.
Your needs
Standard internal door; moisture not a concern. Biogenic / waste-derived materials score highest. Scores weight your priority most, then exposure (water resistance) and the remaining criteria. Indicative India 2026 — not a substitute for a manufacturer EPD or a green-building consultant.

Why: Re-uses existing timber — near-zero new embodied carbon and a circular, characterful result.
Watch-outs: Inspect for old lead paint / borer; re-finish with low-VOC coatings. Quality varies by source.
Runner-up: Agri-fibre / straw board (76/100). Indicative — confirm with a manufacturer EPD / certification.
How every eco material scores for your needs
Sustainability match score (0-100) weighted to your priority and exposure. Your top pick is highlighted.
Specify a greener door with confidence
DesignAI matches a sustainable door material to each room's use, your climate and budget — and tells you which certifications (FSC/PEFC, E0/NAF, GreenPro) to insist on.
Assumptions & notes
Scores are indicative judgements for typical Indian-market products, not measured results. Embodied carbon, durability, VOC emissions and recyclability all vary by manufacturer, grade, adhesive and finish — always confirm against a manufacturer EPD, a third-party certification (FSC/PEFC, GreenPro, ECOMARK, GREENGUARD, E0/NAF formaldehyde) and a green-building consultant before specifying.
Prices are indicative for the door leaf, ex-GST; add 18% GST plus frame, hardware and fitting. Biogenic carbon stored in timber-based options is released at end of life unless re-used or recycled, so durability and a recycling route matter as much as the headline carbon figure.
This selector is a starting shortlist, not a substitute for a manufacturer EPD, an independent energy/green-building consultant or local availability checks.
