Hi,
I’ve undertaken a reno of my apartment. I am looking for some decent, affordable building supplies in Taipei City or around Neihu. B&Q or what ever it is called has most of what I require, but it’s mainly the decorations they have there and not the raw materials.
I’m looking for the things below. Or a good supply shop for contractors.
- 2x2 lumber for framing the Taiwan way. (Not sure what kind of wood they use, but it’s redish in color and seems to be a little rot resistant. Any idea what type it is?)
- Wall panels or ceiling panels (Taiwan Drywall)
- Primer (most places tell me that we don’t use primer in Taiwan. I think it’s BS but perhaps that explains why paint jobs are generally shite here)
- Drywall screws 2" (bulk)
- Concrete nails 3"
- Wood nails 3" (bulk
- Styrofoam insulation (The high density blue stuff or Styrofoam SM type)
- Heavy duty plastic rolls (Vapor barrier)
- Fiber Mesh Drywall tape
Cheers
