could you please post information about the specific tiles you have and perhaps a photo

 

thanks

 

For example this model from Boonthavorn, porcelain wood imitation tiles. They have many more that can surely meet your choice and standards. It's in Thai so use Google translate to get the clear description. Good luck on your tile-hunt.

BUT... to lay decent laminate, the flooring needs a decent prep to ensure its flat.

 

If going to all that effort to ensure the 'teak floor boards' are already flat... why not go that step further and finish them off ?... it seems laying laminate (as simple as it is) it an extra unnecessary step. 

Thanks All for sharing your advice; I'll be at the house in a couple of weeks and then will figure out which direction to go.

 

I'll keep this thread updated with my progress.

Just to update this thread, we had someone assess the floor recently and we discovered that a few of the main wood beams that support the floor have termite damage so after discussing options with the family we would rather use the funds to install solar since summer is approaching. Perhaps in the future I'll get to this again.
