spyder880: Covered porch thinz. Person wey no get money must have sense. When I was going into my build, my dad adviced me to build a house that will not require maintenance in a very looooooooong time. I did just that! Some architects don’t know why we do what we do. Neither do most clients understand why we complain when we see some design flaws. 2 Likes |

spyder880:these doors are millions. Like I said, foreign doors aren't made for everyone. If you can't afford it, simply source for locally made doors and specify what you need. This thing goes for stainless rails. Nigerians just love recurrent expenditures. You will build and in less than five years, you have started maintenance of the same building. This singular act will extend your point of breaking even 5 Likes |

A client of mine wants internal wooden doors, I have been spending some time searching for near standard doors in our markets in Enugu to find what he needs. My search took me to the place we have all sorts of woods coming in in their thousands daily, the Timber market of Enugu. Here, carpenters cut different wood and try to knock them together to make doors and other furniture, but their tools and skill are not usually up to par with some other bigger brands. But these guys have an edge, low cost. I am thinking that N80,000 can afford me a nice door here, together with good keys and thick frames. I am working with some carpenters to get the very best I can find here. 3 Likes 1 Share

This door is a 2" thick wooden door, joined together every 1 foot to form a thick door, usually very heavy. The maker joked that its comparable to bullet proof, lol ![]() What we're discussing was coating this thickness of solid wood with foreign coverings to make it more appealing to the eyes. He was talking about using paints, or varnish to coat the door as it is in the first picture, he wants the wood grain to be visible from the original wood. Something like this.......... 2 Likes

This is a construction of wooden doors and frames, using different sizes and combinations of foreign plywood materials, especially HDF wood. These doors costs an average of N80,000. (Frames and architraves inclusive) 3 Likes

We've also done things like these in the past, use a combination of local wooden door frames and door, coated with foreign plywood as shell, to deliver some internal doors in some of our past projects. This offered my the flexibility I needed, to measure and install the accurate sizes of doors needed in each door space. 2 Likes

For those of us who's pockets are not as deep as Egunmogaji2 's own, there is some hope. We can always knock together these cheaper alternatives and still shut our doors at night, afterall, door na door ![]() This particular door, frames, keys and handles, hinges, bolt and installation might be below N20,000. I use this normally on rented apartments, especially where high paying tenants are not the target. 4 Likes

ceelog: I've never done HDF doors but I've seen good doors partly made of HDF. They work. However, follow Spyder's post on doors. He's got something about HDF there I think. |
