There's one in the row of shop houses across from Soi 116 headed south just outside Hua Hin near Takiab on the highway towards Pranburi.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

A good quality and treated hardwood door can also be very resistant to attack if you don't want to look at plastic.

They have moved north of the town across from Hua Hin Hospital.

Thanks for pointing that out stgrhe, I knew that shop had changed (recently) to a motosigh sales shop but I did not know where the former window and door shop went... :thumb:

No problem HH! I should have mentioned that their name is Finestra and they use Chinese uPVC profiles of medium quality, better than Windsor's but not near as good as the German designed ones that are sold by A.R.C. and WR Winyl in Pattaya.

The quality of uPVC frames differs quite a lot. I did chose the German Vega designs that is sold by A.R.C, for my house because of its superior quality but Thüssen Polymers profiles, sold by WR Vinyl, are equally good.

WR Vinyls do, they gave me a couple of reference sites. However one of the main reasons I bought in HH was that if anything went wrong I could easy drop in with my issues. I found Joe at Windsor/Huahinglass really great, he couldn't do enough to make sure that the install was perfect, even changed the design of a door that I didn't like after I originally specified it. The windsor profile was better that the Finestre one.

A.R.C. do also service Hua Hin by a Swiss guy. They are supplying The Falls development among others.
