Please I need sincere opinion of people who had used this polystyrene parapet in their project.I'm considering using this for my project because of the higher cost of cast or precast parapet. How durable is this material for the parapet because I heard from someone, a builder in Abuja that the ts between the polystyrene lengths give way after some time?
Also, given its light weight and less sturdy structure will insects or birds not easily burrow into it? I'm sure these bosses here : ajabani4allah kelvin1191 Nachory at some point contemplated using it too. Please I will like to hear your honest opinions!
Ps. I would have considered Aluminum fascia/ parapet but for it's colour- difficult to get a paper white colour of it as it comes in other not so great colours.
Thank you all.

Personally, I'll use polystyrene rather than the aluminum parapet.

Note: even the polystyrene is finished with cement / pop screed, OR plastering, so I'm not sure about the birds part.

For me... It's a better option than Aluminium.

Pls use the polystyrene parapet it's far better than Aluminum. It's what I just used in my 3bed apartment and it looks so nice just like the real cast parapet you can hardly differentiate between then unless you go to check it inside. It can as well be painted to any colour of your choice unlike the Aluminum

Thanks hugely for your response. Please for how long have you had it on your building and what is the cost of it compared to aluminum or concrete parapet?

I just installed it, about 4months ago now. Aluminum is the cheapest follow by polystyrene. Concrete will almost double the price of polystyrene while the difference in price between Aluminum and polystyrene is not much
