The wood

About Malaysian sal

A market name for hardwood imported from Malaysia and nearby. Strong and budget-friendly for frames. Ask what timber it really is.

Also known as: Trade name for imported hardwood
Best for: Chaukhat, frames

Before you buy

“Malaysian sal” (also written “Malaysian saal”) is a trade name for imported wood. Indian forestry research links it to Meranti, for example the Yellow Meranti group.
It is not the same as desi sal (sakhu, Shorea robusta), and kapur (“Kapoor sal”) is a separate wood again.
Get the timber group or species, origin, grade and finished sizes written on the quotation.

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 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.

Is Malaysian sal good for chaukhat?

It can be a good choice once the actual wood is identified and suits the frame. Sound sections, seasoning, sizes and fixing details all have to be checked together.

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.
