The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Carved wooden door surrounds, known as archways or portals, served both functional and symbolic purposes in traditional South Asian buildings and temples. They delineated sacred or private spaces and were decorated with carvings representing protection, prosperity, and regional cultural motifs.

Teak wood was the primary timber utilised due to its high density, natural oil content, and resistance to decay, insects, and moisture. Other regional hardwoods were occasionally selected based on availability and carving requirements.

Authentic historic elements display subtle irregularities from hand-tool chiselling, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and natural wear along contact points. Unfinished aged teak typically develops a pale or muted tone over time.

Architectural surrounds can be installed around existing doorways to frame passage between rooms, or mounted flat against a wall to create a focal feature. They are also repurposed as grand frames for mirrors, headboards, or wall alcoves.

Dust regularly using a soft-bristled brush to clear debris from deep relief crevices. Avoid liquid chemical cleaners or excessive water exposure, applying a clear beeswax paste sparingly if hydration of the timber is required.
