At Homepro they send a guy to measure and draw the exact plan to calculate the SQM then add 7% for wasteage. I don't fear rain, it has never entered my villa.03

Which is why I asked as it's impossible to keep white grout clean in floor tiles.

Presumably these are grouted like a normal tile or do they butt together like laminate flooring?

Yes, that is cheap, however, I won't be going down that route, thanks.

My intention was to lay it directly on to the existing tiles so there is a solid flat surface to begin with. Any pitfalls to this? My area is around 41 SQM according to my measurements and laminate including fitting and underlay is around 1,000 per SQM depending on brand, colour etc

I think it .just means you can clean it with a wet mop............. Technician is coming tomorrow afternoon to measure up, he will probably have more answers than the guys in the store.

I'm looking at Inovar Brand but have to decide what is best between Laminate flooring and SPC solid vinyl tiles. The product features seem similar, waterproof, termite proof etc

Thanks for replies, no pets and no flooding. Just back from Homepro and having to deal with 3 assistants as I can't speak Thai, they confirmed fitting is free, I have to pay a measurement/survey fee of 500 or 1000, again depends who you speak to. They also confirmed the plastic underlay is free as part of the service, I will check the quality to make sure its 2 mm not 1 mm thick or I will buy that seperate. There was also a poster on the wall saying if I bought Hoffen Brand for over 12k then fitting was free but they confirmed other brand like Inovar was also free. I'm guessing all brands and prices are similar so as long as I get 8mm plus 2mm underlay I should be OK. My one concern which was difficult to explain in the shop is my sliding door rail to the outside is only about 5mm high and 8mm tiles would be higher, I will take some photos to show in the store when I book my survey. Nikmar, Thanks for the offer of help, I live in Hua Hin not BKK and as now free installation no need of your services but if you holiday in HH I will buy you a Chang for your kind offer.

I'm looking to have some sort of laminate flooring laid over the 10 year old tiles in my living room. Anyone got any advice on which type of material or do's and don't's? Thickness ? In Homepro I see 4mm up to 8mm. I haven't been to any stores yet, I've looked online at Homepro who have some very good prices but when I asked online about fitting they quoted just over 500 Baht a sqm which would be 20,000 Baht for 40 sqm which is crazy price.

Already been to Boonthavorn in HH, didn't have what I wanted, only a small selection.

Just type his name into FB Hua Hin Buy or Sell Group and all will be revealed.

Thanks, just plugged the variations in to GPS, cancel Ratchaburi and back to original plan as no quicker. HH to Mino, about 220 kms and 3.15 hours Mino to SK about 20 kms and 30 mins SK to Divano about 20 kms and 30 mins Divano to Nana about 32 kms and one hour. Thanks.

I've just discovered Divano (2) has a showroom in Ratchaburi so I could go there first on the way from Hua Hin just leaving 1-3, is that still reasonable? Then maybe stay a night in Nana area so 3 - Nana?

Any idea roughly how long to drive from 1-2 and 2-3? Probably arrive late friday morning

Good Day all I live in Hua Hin and don't know BKK at all, the few times I have had to drive there it's been GPS all the way to the hotel. Now I want to visit 3 sofa furniture outlets, can someone advise me which order to visit them to limit my driving across the busy capital and if it's even doable. The 3 are: SK furniture, Crystal Design Centre (CDC), 888 Pradit Manutham RD, KHLONG Chan, Bang Kapi District Divano Studio, Sai Mai Rd, Khwaeng Sai Mai Mino Home , UPD Krungthepkreetha, 259/159 Saphan Sung Addresses taken from GPS on Google maps Or any other furniture shops specialising in leather sofas. TIA

UUggghhhh, I always wear a shirt, I wouldn't sit on any furniture without a shirt apart from a sun lounger outdoors.

Growing up in England we also called them settees, over here people seem to call them sofas but I don't know the difference, some people in the UK also call it a couch. I think a recover in leather will be the same cost as buying a new one, it is L shaped and with the cup holder section in it is 3.2 metres long, I use it without the cup holder and it's 2.67 metres.

When I was buying a leather sofa in the UK around 30 years ago my mate's wife said 'I couldn't get a leather sofa, it will be too cold on my legs'

Yes, I tend to agree about inflating the original price to appear like a bargain, a while back JAS had a '50%' sale, but no way where they selling the sofas at their quoted original price and would be out of business if they sold everything at half price. What factory did you use although 4 months wait seems a long time.

My current sofa is a very expensive suede type leather and when I get hot and sweat my t shirt leaves the fabric wet, leather would just wipe clean, I have to steam clean this one. I couldn't imagine sitting on a fabric sofa in this country, the heat is why I want leather. Yes, my current sofa is from Index, original price 155 k reduced to 117k, nearly 9 years old but stored unused for 2 years. A very big, very heavy sturdy sofa and good for another 10 years I believe but as I said above it's suede, if it was leather I wouldn't change it as it's ideal size, colour and quality. (one piece with cup holders is stored in the spare bedroom as it would make it too big for my lounge) Index and Ikea aren't factories though, they are retail outlets and I presume they buy from Factories but I'm not sure?

Replying to my own topic ! Just looked at Jas online and one mentioned above shows price of 64k, when looking at the detail it says 'top grain leather' if you change to full leather it's 82k and imported leather 152k!

Hi Guys I am looking for a quality leather sofa, where to buy? Obviously I know of Index, SB furniture etc but I was also told a while back about a factory where you can buy direct. This one was called S C Leather and I looked at the time but I wasn't in the market then but they had lots of choice and custom material, colour etc, however now they don't appear to have much choice. Can anyone recommend any others? Since looking at sofas on FB ads for other places are flashing up, AY furniture, Moment Furniture, Mino Home, SK Home, Divano Studio etc Any recommendations ? Also how do I tell if it's quality leather? I don't mind paying the price, 50-100k, but how do I know it's value for money? There is a JAS store in my local mall who had a sign with big discounts off but is a 107k sofa down to 64k, really good value or is it a 64k sofa ? Any advice on where to go and how to identify good quality long lasting leather is welcomed. I live in Hua Hin but I don't mind travelling to BKK to a factory if necessary, thanks.

Can someone (Bagwain?) explain the flow pattern? In the first photo there are 3 pipes coming out of the ground so call them 1, 2 and 3 from left to right. Then number 4 on the second photo on the extreme right from the filter to the ground, is that only for backwash as the red valve is in the off position? When I turn the pump on how does the water flow from the pool and back to the pool? I presume to change the pump the two red valves need to be in the off position to prevent the flooding mentioned by a poster above?

I am well aware of that , so is GLD, not sure what your point is there? It doesn't alter the fact the Poolrite brand has always been available just not in Thailand. You obviously weren't aware.
