Thai Dhupp and Princess Joy's Thai House Build

[Thai Dhupp]

Hi again TD, looking very good and going at a steady trot.

As your well aware here in the UK we would put a damp proof membrane down and brick up on that.

Q. is this also done in the LOS, and if not why not ?
Q. Also do they screed the floors prior to finishing with floor tiles ?

Thanx for your time.

Hi DM, hows it going? Yeah...finally started and hopefully finished around September

OMG! lol I... dont know!!

I don't remember seeing DPC on other builds but maybe I was reading ahead and missed it?

What I do know is...if something needs to be done, K.Pot will do it. Hes been spot on all the way through so far.

As to the screed, I think its a one stop shop - they sweep - screed/ mortar - then lay the tiles all in one go!!! Truth is thats 'something I missed too' in the contract.

I will check though for my own peace of mind - you got me thinking a bit now...

Anyone else want to jump in with 'whats usually done' on Thai house builds?!?

My answer would be usually not to both questions. From my reading and research, floors are only roughly leveled and then a thick layer of mortar laid under the tiles, rather than using tile adhesive on a flat level floor. And DPC is not “needed” because Thai houses are usually raised off the ground on post and beams unlike western homes built on an in ground slab.

Yeah, Mike and TBH, I completely forgot about 'what we do in UK'!.

Thanks for that mikenot, its good to know beforehand how they do it in LOS.
