When a Global Construction Material Giant Knocks on Home Story Living's Factory Door
In the global construction industry, the name Saint-Gobain is a legend known to everyone in the industry. With a history spanning over 360 years since 1665 from France, Saint-Gobain is now the world's largest construction material and residential solution company, operating in 75 countries worldwide and has been operating in Thailand for over 57 years.
The fact that Saint-Gobain sent a team of high-level executives to visit the factory and office of Home Story Living is no coincidence, but rather an official appointment that reflects genuine confidence in our company's potential.
Saint-Gobain Executives Visit Home Story Living — Actual Atmosphere
On July 22, 2025, a team of executives from Saint-Gobain Thailand consisting of:
Mr. Patchara Mahaburapha — Business Growth & Sales Strategy Director
Mr. Thanawin Tha-in — Regional Sales Manager – Metro
Visited the factory and office of Home Story Living Co., Ltd. for:
Official Appointment Announcement as "Distributor and Manufacturer of European Standard Prefabricated Homes"
Production Process Inspection to confirm that Home Story Living's production standards are in line with Saint-Gobain.
Long-Term Collaboration Planning to develop high-quality prefabricated homes for the Thai market.
Why Did Saint-Gobain Choose Home Story Living?
The question that many may wonder is why a global company like Saint-Gobain chose Home Story Living as a partner? The answer lies in 3 key factors:
1. Standardized Production Potential
Home Story Living has a prefabricated home factory that uses the Steel Frame system, which is a technology compatible with Saint-Gobain products, especially Gyproc Board, which is designed for use with steel frames, making walls and ceilings strong, resistant to vibration, and excellent in moisture control.
2. Vision in Innovation and AI-IT
Home Story Living is not just a home manufacturer, but a technology-driven company with a production and delivery status tracking system via LINE OA and Mobile Web Application, allowing customers to check progress at all times — this greatly impressed the Saint-Gobain team.
3. Comprehensive After-Sales Service
Home Story Living provides a 5-year structural warranty and a 1-year waterproofing warranty along with a Free Maintenance Check, which is in line with Saint-Gobain's philosophy of emphasizing long-term sustainability and quality.
Saint-Gobain Products Used in Home Story Living Prefabricated Homes
This collaboration ensures that every home produced by Home Story Living will use innovative products from Saint-Gobain, including:
🔵 Gyproc — Premium Grade Gypsum Board
Gyproc is the world's number 1 gypsum board brand, manufactured according to EN 520 standards, which are European standards for gypsum boards recognized internationally. It also meets TIS 219-2552, ASTM C1396, and BS EN 476 standards.
Key Features:

🟢 Gyproc Moisture-Resistant Board — Moisture-Resistant Gypsum Board
For areas exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and balconies, Home Story Living uses Gyproc Moisture-Resistant Board, which has a gypsum core mixed with special moisture-resistant substances, making it highly resistant to Thailand's hot and humid climate.
🟠 Weber — High-Performance Waterproofing and Tile Adhesive Systems
Weber is another world-class brand under Saint-Gobain that specializes in adhesives, waterproofing, and surface finishing products. For Home Story Living, two main product groups will be used:
Weberdry 2K Flex — Leading Waterproofing System
2-Component System (Cement + Polymer Liquid) provides high flexibility.

Combining Steel Frame Technology + Gyproc Board = Walls of the Future
The highlight that makes this collaboration special is the seamless integration of Steel Frame structural technology with Gyproc Board, which provides superior results compared to traditional brick-laying and plastering systems:
Features | Steel Frame + Gyproc | Brick Laying and Plastering |
|---|---|---|
Wall Weight | 50-60% Lighter | Heavy |
Installation Time | 3-5 Times Faster | Time-Consuming |
Accuracy | Smooth Surface from Factory | Depends on Craftsman's Skill |
Moisture Control | Excellent (Gyproc MR Board) | Moderate |
Standards | EN 520, TIS, ASTM | Depends on Materials Used |
Waterproofing System | Weberdry 2K Flex Complete | According to Budget |
In addition, Steel Frame + Gyproc walls can route electrical wires, water pipes, and various conduits within the frame's spaces in an orderly manner, without the need for grooving, reducing construction waste, and facilitating future maintenance.
