The wood

About desi sal (sakhu)

The traditional chaukhat wood of north India. Very hard and heavy. It must be well seasoned, or it can crack and twist.

Also known as: Sakhu, Indian sal
Best for: Chaukhat, heavy frames

Before you buy

Desi sal (sakhu) is Shorea robusta. “Malaysian sal” and “Kapoor sal” are different woods.
Sal is hard and heavy, but it must be dried with care or it can crack and bend.
Sal heartwood is durable, but no piece is termite-proof. Sapwood and damp spots need extra care.

Questions

Questions about this chaukhat

What hangs on a double rebate chaukhat?

The main door on one side and a second shutter, such as a jali (mesh) door, on the other. If you want the jali door, tell us at the start so both are planned together.

Single or double rebate: which do I need?

A single rebate frame has a step on one side for one door. A double rebate frame has steps on both sides, so a second shutter such as a jali door can be hung on the same chaukhat. If you are not sure, tell us how the doorway will be used and we will suggest one.

What does "5 × 2.5 inch section" mean?

It is the size of the wood the chaukhat is made from: a 5 × 2.5 inch cross-section. This chaukhat comes in 5 × 2.5, 6 × 2.5, 5 × 3, 6 × 3 inch sections; a bigger section is stronger and suits a heavier door. It is not the size of the door opening, so also tell us the door height and width.

Are sal and sakhu the same wood?

Yes: both names mean Indian sal, Shorea robusta. Market names can be loose, so check the wood named on your quotation.

Is a door included?

No. The chaukhat is the frame only. Doors are separate items; our teak doors are listed on this page.

Do you fit the chaukhat?

Usually your mason or construction workers fix it while the house is being built. We can fit it on request for a small charge. Fitting is free for our doors and windows.

What should I check in a chaukhat?

That it is straight, with no bend or twist along its length, and has no deep cracks near the joints and fixing points. Know the finished size, not just the rough size, and ask how the bottom will be protected from damp and deemak.
