Kitchen Benchtop Surfaces.

[33 RPM]

There seems to be a very limited number of options , at the even fewer kitchen companies, in Chiang Mai.

and yes ive seen the countless granite slab stores all around selling " the same stuff "

 

are there any specialist stone merchants that just might have something outside the usual , frankly boring product,

like engineered stone, porcelain, etc.

 

Thanks.

Further to that, ive been down the Caesarstone range road...

Yes a very sorry state of affairs.  If you can’t find it at Boonsawat then move to Singapore.

I am installing acrylic countertops next week.  Company's installers are based in Bangkok but they have a CM sales office.

 

They do offer some of the nicer features possible with acrylic.  They can make a seamless coved joint between top and backsplash.  The just recently decided to import acrylic sinks.  Hopefully they will also be able to seamlessly join an acrylic undermount sink to an acrylic countertop.  

 

I won't be getting the acrylic sink because my project is too far along to wait the 6 weeks required to import the sink from S. Korea.

 

If you're interested I'll PM you their contact info.

Has anyone seen Corian for counter tops, here in Thailand? Tried Lazada but nothing listed.

[gamb00ler]

I haven't come across anyone selling Corian, but there are definitely very similar products from competing brands such as LG, Samsung, Caesarstone and a few other brands.  We just had 5 bathroom and 5 kitchen (2 houses) countertops made using Hanex, another brand from SKorea.  There is also a brand made in Thailand, but I cannot locate their info at the moment.

 

Our installers had a lot of experience and did a good job.  They don't use the most up to date tools and methods but the result is still very good.  They do very good coved joints between the top and backsplash.  Their seams are invisible when joining pieces because they use a color matched glue.  They have a sales office in CM but their shop and workers are located in Bangkok.

 

I'll get to posting pictures tomorrow of their work.

Here's the promised pictures of our acrylic countertops installed.  I tried to select the pictured areas to depict the more challenging portions of the installation.  I apologize for the less than ideal lighting.
