Hey peeps,

When is the best time to fix exterior steel security doors? Seller said after plastering and tiling to ensure perfection,handler said before plastering.

Please advise me.
You can install the doors before or after plastering depending on your personal preference or whether you'd need to use the house for storage of cement for plastering, assuming you've already installed windows and protectors.

As for tiling, I believe it's best done after installation of steel doors, especially if you're buying ready made doors that come with fixed height ( you can't adjust the height of the door but you can adjust the level of your tiling). Infact you can even wait until after ceiling work before doing your tiling.

It's best you Wrap the Door to protect it from Mortar (cement mix). Then Plaster. It's Best you install the Entrance door before plastering.

in my opinion, I want a visible camera to discourage the potential thief psychologically from even trying. I think that way, my premises will be safe. I don't have the strength to start chasing a successful criminal through the Nigeria judiciary with only pictures as evidence.

No just come to my premises at all.

But again, this is totally my opinion and I don't know your personal reasons for keeping it hidden

I don’t see the camera you are referring to. If you are talking about the monitor, it could be anywhere in the house.
The other set up in the picture is for the Solar system and not camera.

Structural engineers can give their assessment.
The pop cracked as well as gypsum cement screeding.

VanuatuWycombe:


My one cent sir:

1. They didn’t use fiberglass mesh at all. (People use drywall paper tape but fiberglass mesh tape is more durable and lasts longer)

2. They didn’t use industry-grade putty. They used POP putty to fill the ts (if at all).

Project of such magnitude need professional who understand chemical reactions and have some level of material science.

Lots of our artisans only have experience in final finishing, which we Nigerians mostly seek/sought after.

I went to Afri-Global in Ikeja some months ago and I saw this type of cracks.

I have attached a sample industrial -grade putty here sir and that of fiberglass mesh.
They only need to follow the instructions in timing intervals and that’s all. Materials like this have been premixed from factory.


To fix it:

Crack open all those ts to the point where the crack stopped and score a deeper cut into the POP across the path of the crack.

Re-screw the board well (that’s if it was not well screwed before) if board was not used, ignore this step.

Blow out all dusts very well.

Cover/tape the ts with fiberglass mesh.

Apply industrial grade putty to cover the holes and the fiberglass mesh.

Leave to dry till next day.

Sand down to flatten the surface to align with the surface of the uncracked areas.

Follow necessary painting steps.

**. Don’t forget to score (cut deeper hole) at the end where the cracking stops/terminates or fades out pata pata. After scoring the end, the whole thing will look like a ‘T’

Every correction you make will be like a long letter T with a long tail but a small head. The head that you score should not be more than 2 inches long
Nice one bro,

HamtabFawaz2:


The cracked gypsum screeding is surprising!!!
(Could be poorly mixed or lack of adhesive bond)

If the POP crack is extremely serious, it could be a structural related issue (settling foundation) or Installation issue ( incorrect mixing & application) or very poor materials used.

I've said it on here before & let me reiterate again.

Please note that POP is liable to crack due to its natural attributes, Pop keeps drying even after installation which causes it to shrink hence the reason for some crack.
thanks for shedding more light

@michlins obviously camera has to be visible. I don’t mean the camera. I mean this image. Are they accessories for cameras or solar? I would prefer them hidden and not bare like that. Is there something you can do to hide them so they are not visible
