As Crazy says, make sure that you get your sandwash sealed after is has been done. Then you will not have theese problems. If you are not sure whether thesandwash is sealed or not, you can check it by pouring water on it. If the colou shifts - it is not sealed.

SANDWASH SUPPLIER

Post by ladybiker »

A few months ago we had a patio built by a local sandwash company. I would recommend them as the finished job is good the only problem we had was that they ruined the surrounding grass and plants.

I can't remember the name of the company, but here are the directions, go south out of town over the flyover, past the petrol station, then on your left are a few new businesses, a car wash, a shop selling pots etc, a wood dealer, and the sand wash company. The guy who actually lives behind the shop does not speak English but he will put you on the phone to his partner who does.

If you want to come and have a look at the job they did for us please pm me.

Not cheap at approx 600 baht per m2 but very durable.

Multiple patterns and colours available.

For an example visit the Hyatt Hotel and have a look at their drive way.
Thanks a million....I'm sold and will be getting them in shortly. Surely a million times better than sandwash......in my opinion.

That is what they used inside and outside of the Market Village here in Hua Hin.

Yes I was admiring it a while back but was under the impression it would be far more expensive. I actually think it would also make a great alternative to tiles indoors, depending on which pattern was used.
