Thread: Granite Tiles.

Granite stone is great and you can pay well over 10,000.00 Baht per metre or as little as 500 Baht.

Personally I like a tile called Granito that looks perfectly like granite, is easy to lay and work and depending on the tile dimensions can be as cheap as 650 Baht per square metre. You can find these tiles in most Homemart, or Homepro outlets and ask for Granito tiles.

The wife bought the granite the other day nd it was delivered today. I am waiting for her to send some photos, as she cannot tell me the colour, I will post as soon as she sends the photos. The total price with laying the granite is 70,000 bht. Also waiting for the price of the counter top.

All Right Dr. Andy, I've got a lot of ammo for a good shit fight over granite!

Well, maybe just a few pics and some info.

Had to go to the stone place today anyways, so I brought the camera.



This is the local stuff here, comes in a few colors. Sizes are either 60x60 or 80x40. The price I was quoted was 570 baht/ meter. The recommended sealant under the tiles 40 baht/ meter. And labor (from the store) 160 baht/ meter. Grand total 780/ meter + cement. And anyone who's done it knows that the cement can add up fast, especially if your floor is less than level.

BTW prices quoted are pre haggle, on an 80m2 job. Not much haggle room in this neck of the woods anyway.



That's the stuff for counters. Seems to be imports mostly. Around 3000/ m2 and up. But you can get the local stuff with a more modest pattern for much less.

That price seems fine DA, the B570/m. I like the 80x40 slabs but it all depends on the stone and the space you are going to tile.

I have not heard about any need for sealant, so check on that!! seal what from what? and the laying price should be a lot less; cement would have to be added anyway.

good luck with it

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing about the sealant. I'll probably ask to see it beforehand then make a decision. And yes, the labor is twice as high as what you've said. I asked Mrs DA and she says that regular tile is 60 baht/meter and granite "has to be more". More difficult to lay, I guess.

I might ask around to find a better price (or try to talk them down), but I do want to use the labor from the shop.


Just anxiously waiting to see pics of Sri Thep's black and pink patterned floors.

I am still waiting for the photos from the wife, asked her yesterday what colour and was told don't know colour of english so probably pink and balck . Also asked when she is going to send the photos, was told soon. Also Mrs ST was supposed to have bought the kitchen counter top yesterday from Sarburi will call tomorrow and ask price and colour.
