Have to erect 2 walls to create some office space, using 2 existing walls

Better use Qcon or those galvanised U steel to screw on floor and apply gypsum plates both sides ?

What way is faster, cheaper, easier, or beats the other with insulation

Once the walls are up i might have to add a roof to this !?!

should be a 20 meter wall with a 8 to 10 meter other wall

forreachingme · 31-08-2008, 06:46 PM

www.a-wall.com

Not available in LOS

Someone seen some similar easy assembly stuff in Thailand ?

forreachingme · 02-09-2008, 02:30 PM

At last study, looks like we will make one steel structure sort of, this to make sure the walls stay where it has to stay and the roof will be easy task and strong to hold some storage such as boxes...

Beetween the steel beam we will make a brick wall up to 1 meter approx. and then go up with panels of gypsum of 120 cm by 240 cm...

Will post some pictures, job is due in a few weeks...

sunsetter · 02-09-2008, 03:36 PM

ahhh gr eat, nice to see some conversions and extension type things, very cool cant wait

forreachingme · 11-09-2008, 12:29 PM

Siam steel has a department selling knock down offices, hospitals, etc...

Our choice is now, some steel structure and bricks in beetween, up to 1.4 meter eventually and then close the top of walls with windows in aluminium frames...

Construction and pics to follow in a few...

forreachingme · 13-10-2008, 11:27 AM

Following my visit at the construction fair i came across some interesting materials, faster and less messy compared to bricks, 2 suppliers found:

www.viva.co.th makes wood cement board, but seem to be limited to 1200mm x 2400 mm
the information is much better on Viva website compared to this following one

www.panelworld.co.th this on has 2 choice of max sizes, 1200 x 2400 mm and the very noce size of 1200 mm x 3000 mm

By building with those material, some space should be left in beetween panels, 3 to 5 mm for indorr use and up to 10mm for outdoor use, i am now looking to source some double U plastic or composite joint for connection... Any idea where i can source this ?

i am not interested in pouring some silicone as this would give a mess...

Looks like thos panels will be my office construction solution for wall panes and roof as well, single layer both places...
