Building in Phuket

Phuket Island, located
in a tropical seaside local provides a very hostile environment for many building
products such as wood and steel.
Thus, masonry has long been the material of choice for builders in
Phuket.
Traditionally, this has been concrete, concrete block, and red brick, none of
which provide good thermal and acoustical insulation properties, nor are they particularly
attractive.
Whereas natural granite stone is readily available on the island, it is
very heavy, extremely difficult to use in structural applications, and impossible to
control as far as color and texture.
Natural granite also requires very skilled craftsmen to install as the many
collapsed granite walls around Phuket testify. Modern Cultured Stone was established to
provide modern, high tech masonry building products to meet the requirements of
discriminating builders.
