Solid wood floor vs Engineered wood floor
Re: Solid wood floor vs Engineered wood floor
I'm on a work computer, so can't change the settings. But I'll definitely call to showroom for a look. Other companies I looked at where in Chang Mai or Phuket. I won't be in those places anytime soon so was happy to find arrow-wood company in Hua Hin. At least to look at the product physically, another poster mentioned Siam Teak. Really at this stage I'm just looking, termite issue is obviously a deterent

Do you mind me asking? Why did you decide against engineered flooring? And excuse my ignorance but what or where is Boothavorn?AJBangkok wrote:Have you checked out the arrow wood factory and showroom in Hua Hin? It's run by a Dutch guy and pretty much all of his product is exported to Europe but he does sell locally. I visited there a couple of months go and his engineered hardwood is some of the nicest I have seen. I decided to go with tiles in the end but if I was to go wood I would have bought his stuff. I would rate it exceptional versus the stuff you see at boonthavorn including their highest end product made by I think Thai German.
The factory and showroom is about 15 minutes from Hua Hin up soi 88 there is a map on http://www.arrow-wood.com.
Re: Solid wood floor vs Engineered wood floor
I decided to go for a very modern look, almost anesthetic, I am tiling all the floors with large format tiles and I imported some super large format 1m x 3m tiles from Italy and I will tile all the walls with them. Wooden floors would be too warm for the look I want to achieve. Also the house is designed to maximize outdoor living so tiles will hold up better with people traipsing from outside to inside all day.Owen wrote:Do you mind me asking?

Boonthavorn is the large home improvement store on the left hand side just as you exit town when going north to Cha Am.
Re: Solid wood floor vs Engineered wood floor
Thanks for that, sounds like a good project your doing there. I'm also changing a few things around the house, windows doors, kitchen etc. Hence the post about wood vs engineered floors. I'll check out Boonthavorn, never been there.AJBangkok wrote:I decided to go for a very modern look, almost anesthetic, I am tiling all the floors with large format tiles and I imported some super large format 1m x 3m tiles from Italy and I will tile all the walls with them.

Re: Solid wood floor vs Engineered wood floor
If you make a trip to Bangkok visit their store on Ratchadpiesek ( MRT station sutisarn) it has a lot wider variety of things than Hua Hin and sometimes you can get better discounts if they are discontinuing a line. I just bought 400 m2 of porcelanosa tiles for my outside deck that they were discontinuing at a huge discount from the original list price. They deliver free to Hua Hin for orders over 15k
For windows I used Prime Asia for Upvc windows. They are the best windows I've ever owned.
For doors I'm having difficulty finding a front door. I want something modern but the only ones I have found are at a truly crazy price. The problem is that they are the best doors I have ever seen in Thailand so anything I see now pales in comparison.

Re: Solid wood floor vs Engineered wood floor
Thanks I'll do that we were stopping in Bangkok anyway for a few nights there was other stores I wanted to look at and now Boothavorn!!
I did little research on uPVC windows and 1 that got mentioned a few times was Prime Asia as you say and the other was ARC windows. Both had good reports, see what either price proposal they produce and decide then I suppose. Liked Prime Asia website for what it's worth.
Anyway thanks again

Re: Solid wood floor vs Engineered wood floor
If you go to the blog page on the prime Asia web site the first article is a video of swing and slide doors. I had 7 sets of these installed last month with the largest 2 sets being 2.8m high by 7m wide. My project manager said that the prime Asia installation crew were one of the most professional he has worked with and personally I found that dealing with them was a pleasure. They worked with me a little on price after a bit of arm twisting and delivered and installed everything on schedule.
