Not exactly like this but...
The picture shows a nylon plastic insert (in yellow) that is specifically designed to be used with chemical anchoring adhesives.
Are there similar ones available for purchase in Thailand?

60 day tourist visa in advance, 30 day extension at immigration. wont need onward flight
Is that normally the case with every airline? As in no need for an onward ticket with the 60-day Tourist Visa?

According to a recent thread you can go throuh the Thai line if traveling together.
btw, how long did it take them to issue the Visa?

Just to add to that - you don't have to be married.
You don't?
Then what's the accepted qualification?

I'm going to answer your original question rather than digressing onto the other immigration related issues here. Yes, it is much easier to enter Thailand with a Thai spouse, as you are allowed to go into the line for Thais only with a Thai spouse, and that does speed up the process.
Thank you for mentioning.
I've never heard of it and wasn't aware of such an option.
Have you actually done that yourself?
Are there any other requirements other than entering the country together with a Thai Spouse? (e.g. entering with a Visa vs Visa exempt).

I Assume that you have a Thai bank account in your name only.
Which immigration office?
Yeah, I do have a Thai bank account.
The immigration office is up North in the sticks - not much of foot traffic and they seem to just follow published procedures without any "inventions" of their own.

You visit immigration with at least 15 days remaining with form/2k fee and proof of eligibility/Thai family member.
Money in the bank requirements for the conversion?

Hello.
What is the current process for obtaining a conversion to a family Non-O Visa after entering Thailand on a Tourist visa?
The goal is to obtain a 1-year extension in the end.
Also, is there an actual benefit to entering the country on the tourist visa (besides the additional 30 days) as opposed to Visa exempt?
Would the conversion process be the same?
Thank you.

How are people getting visa with just £1000 in the bank? It’s very confusing.
It seems the requirements have been changed.
It appears the Non-O 90-day visa to visit a Thai family now requires a bank statement showing an equivalent of 40,000 Baht in monthly income or a balance of 400,000 Baht.

However the details of the agreements are not publicly available so they may be able to source material from other providers.
Call any Bluescope store and ask what kind of a material is being sold at the Bluescope branded store!

since you are so knowledgeable you can research and discover if they produce a 2.5mm sheet, if they do the name of it and the markings, if any, on it.
It's been already posted earlier in this thread.
The thinnest Zacs spec is 0.30mm

You surely realise that there are other companies that produce coated steel don’t you? And that the material can be as good, or better, than Bluescope’s products?
Sure, most shops over here sell Non-Bluescope metal at cheaper and often much cheaper prices.
My understanding is that their coated metal comes from Chinese and Korean factories.
Yeah, must be a real good or better product compared to Bluescope's, which is an Australian company? ????

You are really naive if you believe that the majority of warranties in Thailand have any real meaning.
You are implying that the material is inferior because it may not be a Bluescope product. You surely realise that there are other companies that produce coated steel don’t you? And that the material can be as good, or better, than Bluescope’s products?
Thailand warranties are nothing like in the West, but at least Bluescope produced metal clearly states its warranty length, lists material specs, has a chain of franchised shops with real good service and sourced from the factory, located right here in Thailand.
How does it compare to the metal which offers zero warranty, is of unknown origin, spec and quality?

Incidentally or maybe directly to the point you can not get your material from Bluescope you have to use a middleman, as I said.
They're Bluescope franchised stores, specifically created by Bluescope to serve as a public facing store-front for their products.
Bluescope is not business of making (roller-forming) or selling roofs.
They process and coat "raw" metal sheet and then sell it in huge rolls to roller-forming shops whose business is to deal with end customers.
The Bluescope-franchised shop is the closest you can get to the manufacturer.

The exact material is shown in the photographs above, since the back is coated with foam the identity of it is unknown.
All of your material length is covered with foam?
How about roof ends? The foam layer should stop at least 20 cm from roof's drip edges.
And how about flashings? The are normally made from the same material.

No domestic install sources from Bluescope, and probably few if any commercial installs will source from them either. However it is very probable that SANGTHAI METALSHEET does indeed source some or possibly all their material from them.
Every Bluescope franchised store sources its material directly from the Bluescope-owned coating factory.

The material he referenced is ST-40-760PU it is not clear that he is going to that exact material or some other version. Assuming is a rather poor idea as it should be clear that colorbond is not used in ST-40-760PU neither is ZACS.
I think the manufacturer of ST-40-760PU specifically states in their product description that the material used is Bluescope, but I could be wrong.
And If ST-40-760PU is not made out of Bluescope then what's the point of buying an "inferior" product if it's made out of a main material of unknown origin without a warranty???
While there are many Bluescope franchised stores positioned all over the country offering the real deal backed by a warranty?

The material we are using is ST-40-760PU it certainly is not colorbond since the colorbond material we have is 0.5mm AFAIK it is the thinnest available.
ST-40-760PU is the model number of their product - it has nothing to do with Bluescope's product designation.

the metal of the roof covering is very thin compared to the standard BlueScopeSteel roof. The BlueScopeSteel colorbond roof is 0.5 mm is 0.25 mm. This does not mean that it is a bad roof, but it certainly isn’t as robust as a colorbond roof. Our supplier has stated that there is no guarantee this compares to the colorbond 30 year guarantee, I’ll be in Thailand if the company that sells your roof stock trading, then there goes your guarantee, but the fact that they offer a 30 year guarantee suggest that the colorbond material itself is excellent.
Can you elaborate more on your material thickness and also exact material?
@Encid plans on getting Bluescope (I'd assume Colorbond) and if you've gotten the same material then it should carry warranty.
Did you get Bluescope Colorbond branded steel (the logo stamped on the underneath) or some other Chinese or Korean metal sheet?
It's not clear from your post what you mean by saying that your supplier has stated that there's no guarantee for your metal as it would be the case with Colorbond.
Does it imply that your material is not sourced from Bluescope?
Bluescope produced coated metal sheet comes in two versions: Colorbond and Zacs.
Colorbond is warranted for 30 years and Zacs for 10-12.
Both come in a variety of thicknesses, e.g. Zacs:

I just tell 3BB that I don’t want their free router, they mumbled, and the fitters took it back with them.
I should have asked them for the same thing during my install.
Couldn't anticipate a potential problem later on about router substitution.

Thank you.
Have found the Hilti product but wasn't able to locate the "test tube" on Lazada.
Could you please share the link?
