Yes, the door looks nice and I have seen the prices you quoted for the polished version. The problem I have with these local wooden doors is with how they tend to become warped with time and a little heat.

How do you treat your own products to minimise the warping on the doors?

The wood used are oven baked to dry off all water or moist content it has before any work is done n seasoned thereafter.

somehow:


A polished one of this kind goes for how much?

900*2100 - 110,000
1200*2100 - 140,000
Door lock (client might decide to opt for another type) door Frame-Architrave- Installation inclusive.

Greetings sir, is this a hard wooden door or a HDF door?

This should be hdf but we did the hardwood natural color awhile ago.

Come to Akobo n enjoy good light there

Hi guys.
Hello painters in the house.
Anyone knows what this type of paint job is called or the materials used ( someone said it's spray paint that was used?)


Any ideas pls...??

This should be mural if it's not wallpaper. It's an artist work not just painting alone

Chairman! I’ve something interesting to share on PVC vs Aluminum windows.

I’ve not witnessed any fire outbreak to see how both will perform under fire BUT I’ve seen how they perform under impact and crush test.

As a matter of fact, the picture I intend to share will show you how different types of aluminum profiles from 6 demolished buildings look after they were subjected to harsh conditions vs how the PVC window installed on only 1 house in the estate performed.

It’d be shocking to hear that I can still use the PVC windows but we can hardly put together a complete window from all the 6 buildings where aluminum windows are installed.

I’ll upload pics when I have the opportunity to do so.


________
Considering the cost and quality of the PVC windows, I wasn’t expecting it to perform any less.

Definitely a great one over the aluminium. Im with u on this Sir.

jabolo:


Although, I live in an 80 year old house with PVC doors and windows all round. All the things you mention there are alien to me.

My Chief, thankfully you said 80 year old.
Don't forget I said my experience n I didn't generalize this.
* Has there being any fire incident in the house to make you confirm the fire part?
* Were u there during the installation to make you know if they amended on site to fit if the openings were not perfect for it?
* I bet we still have same quality of materials that was used in making those in your build at the moment.
Remember: all I mentioned were based on my experience in my kobo Kobo years of Kobo Kobo architecture, interior n construction Sir.

#peace

EgunMogaji2:


Okay thanks for the response.

Double Buate Sir

EgunMogaji2:


Please share the issues if you can. It was the in thing in the USA some years back.

* Once they cut to size at the factory, you can't adjust it again except you take it back there n they do that for you which means your openings must be perfect else you will have breakings to do. Ur installer can easily trim n adjust your aluminium on site unlike the PVC

* Due to the weight, if it's a build which will be airtight like you won't be opening the windows n doors steadily it will last more n might nt have issue but if you will be doing lot of opening steadily it will sag/drop with time

* Don't know about the improvement on the materials now in term of fire resistance, the old once I have seen used n replaced aids fire a little.
* Expensive as well

All this are based on my personal experience n might not be for all but most clients after buying houses with PVC windows n doors in Lekki do change them instantly to aluminium, I believe our aluminium guys can tell us more

n3xt:


I’m going to PVC windows pretty soon. The aluminum window market is too saturated.

PVC has its own issue.
I've being there n don't think I still want to go that lane. The companies ain't that much around this days too

EgunMogaji2:


That's the setup I'm considering but I don't think I have the space for the total length. If only bath tubs/jacuzzi came in less than six foot lengths.

Thanks.

I think there is for 1.7m or 1.75m or so. Our mechancal guys should confirm.

megacontrol:
It's surprising that the good Samaritan that offered to take the doors in the first instance hasn't stepped forward to take up this second opportunity that presented itself.

That would put the issue to rest, irrespective of weather lessons were learnt or not.

#LFI

I said it earlier, they won't be there forever even if they are now. How long can they stay, those kind of people might even have family members or staffs they owe or not helping oh bt will come here to ............. God dey

EgunMogaji2:


Here is the floor plan. The confusion is fitting both a tub and shower in the space.

This will work well, I will just take off the solid wall used for the toilet enclosure, glaze it or better leave it open so far it's for a private room

bobkezel:

We are still learning, even though he is good at what he does he is still learning.

Yes oh, we all are still learning.

bobkezel:

Bro seriously, anybody not in this ur field or not conversant with them won't be able to understand ur point.
It took me a while to get ur point.
It's not ur fault neither was it madams fault. But find a way to settle this matter, you can involve a 3rd party on your behalf to calm @enyinne nerve.
If na me I no go dey happy at all. Even if she insults you, you don't have to insult her back, your only priority now should be to settle this matter and clear your name.
@enyinne abeg tamper justice with mercy mbok.

You not getting it, it's even wrong for an engineer to create an opening of 900mm when the door specification is also 900mm,
That is the principle that makes all engineers allow tolerance of an inch or more to allow for proper installation for either doors n Windows.
So it's wrong to even reduce the size of the door he is fabricating except he was told or he measured the as-built n the opening itself is 900mm already.
I will not accept the door as well but let's acknowledge that it has happened n only him can still make this go away ASAP by he said he won't let his self esteem or so down n that's where there is issue.
I will suggest to him to always prepare a drawing or detailed sketch for doors n some other things he does to avoid more occurence.
Lot of learning still has to be done when you are dealing with clients that knows what they want

michlins:
oga mi I have tried my possible best to appease this woman. But she made it her ultimate goal to frustrate me.


Someone who couldn't stop me from waking up now wants me stop me from getting my goals. Are you my God or what exactly are you

Just calm down n be soft with your choice of words Chief. All is well

Like u ought to add an inch or two to your windows or doors openings instead of reduction except confirmed on site otherwise.

Even for my Kobo Kobo interior works that I don't post here due to the drama with nairaland clients as I don't post even my architectural n construction here.
Michlin, u r good no doubt. But u need to be more detailed and u need more wisdom in client management n relationship.
Please I will say again, easy does it. The misfortune of one mostly leads to upgrade of another competitive n serious minded one as majority believes.
I cum in peace

@Lastpage,
Chief with the inks, please I need to reach you on some urgent issues at hand.
Please can I link up
Thanks

gbadexy:

It's disappointing to think I used to think you are amongst the old timers that contributed well here for lack of any less appropriate words to use.
You have actually said nothing in your response.
The question was not about converting to sqm or if the area was for floor or total surface of the room. You should have known from the basic elementary mathematics that 12 ft by 12 ft couldn't give the 19.5 sqm I gave.
I couldn't decide if you wanted to accuse me of incompetence or outright fraud of inflating quotation for unsuspecting clients. I know this moniker used to be more coherent. I would want to believe the account was hacked.
In as much as vendors are expected to be courteous and civil at all times, it is also expected of a gentleman to accept when he is wrong and apologize.
The person you quoted was also wrong.
Some folks are just waiting for an opportunity for some unfortunate scandal to happen and quickly label people fraud and shout I thought I told you so. All such people will surely wait in vain and be disappointed by God's grace.
False accusation and slander of character is not something to be taken lightly.
I wanted to overbill unsuspecting clients and I posted prices and figures on the thread openly where it can be challenged!

Say no more Chief.

HossanaHeights:


While I am not holding brief for Michlin, I think his response was very natural.
Recall that a client had a few days earlier insulted him publicly in capital letters for an obviously miscommunication issue. This is without giving him any benefit of doubt. This would have put him in a defensive posture in response to Egun's question.

His response to Egun's question should have been more tactful no doubt. However, Egun's response was equally wrong.

Courtesy should be demanded from both clients and vendors. Unfortunately, the scale is tilted a little against the vendors in this forum.

It was this same Michlin that was hardly given a chance when he came on board this forum. All sorts of insults, innuendos were hurled in this direction. Yet he remained dogged and proved himself.

The seeming support he receives here in this saga and the one that involved hammer last year (if you can recollect), is because the public would naturally stand against judgemental and subtle bullying against an individual perceived to be hardworking and straightforward so far.

We know fraudulent behaviour when we see one. Dragging vendors down because of glaring miscommunication issues or imperfect company processes is uncalled for.

Remember that the internet doesn't forget. In this challenging economic environment, why kill what you cannot build when we have not engaged privately to clarify issues?

Vendors should also profile clients (as much as it's possible) before accepting jobs from them, and deal with whosoever you choose to do business with on a personal level (pictures, information etc.). Self respect is also as good as the money.

You can avoid whosoever you don't want to deal with, but don't also insult clients or appear arrogant/rude.

Oga mi, na small be alaba own for twin matter oh.
You can hold brief for him oh,
Just gave my humble submission which might make little or no sense to michlin or anyone.

More power to his elbow and I wish him all the Best with the attitude n same kind of response to perceived enemy which was the ladder he climbed on. He rose through criticizing n backlash but now he's stronger n famous to give it back like it's hot.
Whatever rocks his boat abeg.
I CUM IN PEACE N OUT ON THIS ABEG

bobkezel:

So if you make a request for something from someone and the person rejects the request you then go about calling them silly?
Even if he was in the a haste to respond does that warrant/justify the insult?

U can reject honorably sir, it's your choice, your brand n u decide whatever u want with it. His request wasnt personal like he wanted it for anything meanwhile U dont respond to all comments in here not cause u don't know what to say but because u don't have to say.

Silence is golden works well instead of having to shalaye. U might not have bad intention with your words but it can be interpreted to mean many things n with different tones to it.
The tone of michlin response depict something but no be Pikin like me go talk am.
Iree ohhhhh
