DIY question, where can I buy parquet flooring?

[fish fingers]

I've bought a cheap condo in bangkok, the revised floorplan means I have to extend the parquet floor in one area; its that typical red coloured waxed type.

Is there a bangkok supplier of this type of red wood parquet (I don't think Homepro do it) ?

fish fingers,

a practical advice:

better consider tiles or stone for following reasons:

1. climate

2. rain water or spills;

3. you will never match the colour;

4. cheap.

Apology for unsolicited advice and good luck.

BTW HomePro does sell all kinds of flooring. If you are committed to wood - there is new product which is impervious to water. Expensive. And you will still have to lift the old floor.

This can be purchased all over the city at one of the many wood stores/lumber yards to be found dotted around.

I can only assume the OP doesnt read Thai.

His best bet is to head to Bang Sue area of Bkk and go to the wood merchants.

The problem with this type of flooring, what type of wood is it made from, the wood usually comes plain and is coloured by adding red and/or yellow powder to the wood to get it to the desired colour.

I have seen many instances of cheap crap parquet that starts falling apart after a couple of years.

What size is the condo, as mentioned by another poster, rip the lot out and replace with tiles at say 500 baht per s/m.

Some of this parquet is easily 2000 baht + per s/m.
