Windows and doorsPictured is the best available quality in locally assembled aluminium window and door parts. It's what is used in modern hospitals and clincs. The paint is hi-bake epoxy powder enamel and will last for decades. The extruded aluminium parts for the windows and doors were cut to size and assembled on site for perfect accuracy.
This cannot be done with uPVC frames because the welding has to be done in the factory - requiring greater degree of accuracy in the measurements. Nevertheless, some minor adjustments to the masonry will always be necessary. jazzman

Frame for a fixed window in the octagonal bay. 1.5mm extruded aluminium, white expoxy enamelled. uPVC frames for the windows and entrance and patio doors had been considered, but the cost fell outside the budgeted parameter.jazzman

Louvered window (kitchen).This 2 x 1 m louvered window is constructed of the same heavy duty aluminium used for all the windows and exterior sliding and hinged doors. We insisted on quality winder mechanisms. The glass is 6mm one-way, reflective, black UV. It includes sliding fly screens. Can't say the cost - it was offered as a free bonus by our supplier, guess it's worth about 8,000 baht; just because we are farangs, not everything of quality has to be expensive or made by a large company in a big city.jazzman

archwayThe archway makes a symbolic divide between the open plan living room / kitchen.

ceiling tiles living roomWe chose the modular, totally fireproof solid plaster tiles. Advantages: breathe, letting warm air escape upwards; Rapid installation, easy change to redistribute light fittings, fans etc ., . or just for a change of pattern! Price: from 22 baht per sq.m. The supporting rails cost next to nothing. Disadvantages: Some really kitchy pattern/colour combinations are available - your wife will LOVE them :)

Ceiling panel with recessed lightSheetrock ceilings with fancy recesses are all the rage, but we opted for suspended 60 x 60 cm panels. They have the advantages that they permit immediate access to any part of the roof space, and lighting arrangements and ceiling fans can be added to or changed around at will. It also breathes, allowing warm air to convect upwards and away into the attic. They come in with hundreds of different colours and patterns, are extremely cheap, and if you get fed up with them, you just change them !jazzman

archway 2Detail of the construction of the kitchen archway. The builders went OTT with the metal by taking nearly 2,000 baht's worth of prime load bearing steel from Jazzman's stock when a few strips of aluminium leftovers would have done. Another reason NOT to go shopping for the day in Udon ;)
There's no danger of it collapsing though, that's for sure!
