Brands & Grades

The categories this room draws on, and nothing it does not. The low end of every band is the studio's standard; the high end is the upgrade. The same carcass, hardware, checks and warranty sit under both. Open a category for what the choice does to the price.

Shutters and panelling The board behind every shutter and panel. Board-and-batten and grid panelling ₹800 – 1,300 / sqft finished; flutes ₹850 – 1,650.	Action Tesa or Greenpanel HDHMR, 16–18 mm	The same board. The finish is what changes
