Born2conquer: Badgers14: rotecch77: Maybe it’ll cost a little more but at N3,000 / 0.6sqm (excluding studs and installation cost which is considerably reasonable), I think the cost would be cheaper than plastering/screeding/painting or plastering and applying tiles to achieve same result in the long run.
The pics below are naija installs. Currently working on one, would share final looks here and on kobocity.
I agree completely but it can’t be compared with the benefits of a material that offers more in of value. 1. Low maintenance 2. Durability (doesn’t crack or warp) 3. Aesthetically pleasing 4. Waterproof / Fireproof ’ Not new though. @dominionng has been using this for years. 2 Likes |

Good morning all. Trust we had a pleasant night. I have been refraining myself from writing this, but I think I have to do this now. Can we please stop this name calling and allow peace to reign. I am a silent observer here and I know what i have learnt so far. I hardly comment unless I have to do so. I think is only we women that do this stuff but I was surprised to see matured men and fathers doing this. How do we talk to our children or settle misunderstanding when they have one.? Please I am begging you in the name of God,put an end to this. Do you know you will still meet somehow,somewhere and you may need each others help? Also referring to the past of unpleasant things people have done to you is not good. I know it's painful and disheartening. Please let's move on and forget the past (as it is written in the Bible). God will continue to bless the works of our hands and replenish whatever we must have lost in Jesus' name. Keep up the good work. I come in and with peace, thank you and have a great day. bobkezel: |

n3xt: Interesting.. But one thing though is having an idea and another thing is execution of that idea.. I fear that many of our very beloved artisan would not have the patience or technical know how to execute this to near perfection. 1 Like |

Badgers14: I agree completely. That’s exactly the job I’m paid to do. I’m currently managing a very complex situation in a build. Two sets of artisans. One is extremely good. The other is average and the client has commissioned them both. I told the client one will work at the back whole the other will handle the approach of the building. On my current job, I’m currently working with the designer of this particular project below on the exterior cladding. So it’s really not a job for everyone. 1 Like |

n3xt: If you would be kind enough to update us when you are done with your current current project using this siding/claddings.. Like a side by side comparison between this and screeding , painting? All costs included... This cladding/sidings are a beauty to behold at least looking at the picture you posted... Methinking if we can get this done to near perfection and a bit cheaper, why not give it a shot? But do you know if there's a company where one can pay and they supply both the materials and labor for installation? I know lots of people can source the materials but will have a hard time finding a good installer. |

n3xt: Yes with that price its not that much And as you said it’s been in existence for years If you go to Erric moore tower estate area ( very close to BUILDER Sec ) you will find it on those estate building Very soon I will need it on this 6 bedroom duplex ( pics attached) 1 Like |

Rexology: Some of the factors to consider: Cost: a good quality wooden kitchen cabinet is more expensive than the block type Flexibility: wooden cabinet is more flexible as the block cabinet is permanent Asthetics: wooden cabinet is ahead (for me) Above all... your choice! 2 Likes |

Greetings great Elders in the house, please can I use a chain link fence in a portion of a fence area that has high rate of water flow, and this is the second time it's pulling down the fence in that partition. Secondly can the chain link hold some quantity of sand that is been washed along with the water without affecting the chain link? Thanks Elders. 1 Like |
