Buying or considering replacing your traditional windows with casement windows, these guides may be advantageous to you as a nairalander or a non nairalander. We are all here to learn and reading this article now will give you an insight to some important things about Casement window which is one of the best most popular modern type of windows in World, other types of windows includes basement, bay, awning and louvers windows. So let get started, let us share our ideals and experience as well. Awning windows and Basement windows also look like casement windows but they are partially different in terms of installation but louvers windows are entirely different from all. Casement windows are one the most made of aluminum windows in the world. In Nigeria we have different companies importing these products for making of these windows by the process called fabricating. Nigalex is the one of the most expensive follow by the tower aluminum, then there are imported ones many windows fabricators call tower standard but not tower just the standard of what tower produce locally, majority are from china but they have standard of tower quality, you know what I mean, Nigeria are not mining iron ore at ajaokuta talk more of mining aluminum, all this materials are imported, apart from woods for roofing, blocks for building, Coleman wire produce in Nigeria, there are few others building materials Nigeria produces. The standard glass thickness for residential building is 5mm, you can choose to have a transparent glass, black, white or cream but all of this is a choice, but for security purpose the best one is the type that you can see people outside when you are inside in the afternoon or morning, but they can’t see you, they will only be looking at themselves as if it was a mirror they are seeing and in the night they can hardly see what is inside even when the light is on in the night expect the person is as close to the window as skin is closer to the bones in our body. Casement windows are usually hung vertically with an opening window hinged from the left or right side of the frame. The opener can be inward or outward, but is more commonly installed with the opening element moving in an outward motion. Windows which open inwardly are usually seen in residential apartments or buildings where security and safety are an issue of concern or paramount. Due to the simple construction and stout, ruggedness, staunch and sturdy frame, casement windows are known to stand the test of time, compare to all major types of windows, without repairs or replacement. The Crank is the controller locker of the opening and closing of the window unit, if the crank is not well fix or attach, or the material use is not standard, then the crank is likely to fail at a very short time. The biggest market for these casement windows products is at Aluminum Village, Dopemu close to Egbeda in Lagos, Nigeria. Casement windows can be embedded with net, and burglary so there is no need of doing a separate burglary proof or net, when you are considering casement windows for your project, though there are some people that love to have their casement windows and net embedded together while they do a separate burglary that will be install separately but at the end you will end up spending more money than you need to spend on a single window that will have a casement, burglary and net embedded together. If you are considering the casement, burglary and net embedded in the iron rod that will be use inside the burglary pipe is 16mm. Important things to consider are Reasonable Price, Efficiency, Zero Noise Cancellation, Available in Different Designs and Color, Ventilation. Reasonable Price Casement windows are one of the best priced windows types, I can categorically tell you that a casement windows measuring 4ft x 4ft or 1.2m x 1.2m with burglary and net embedded together is around N45k to N50k without burglary is N35k to N40k plus, designs applies Efficiency Casement windows are one of the most energy efficient windows, the sash which is the framework in which panes of glass are set in the window, when closed form a seal around the entire windows frame, reducing or zero cancelling the amount of Air Leakage which can pass between the inside and the outside space, so your air conditioners can attach uppermost coolest of the inside house. Zero Noise Cancellation Zero Noise penetration or cancellation from the outside space is another added value for you when you install a casement windows, so whatever you are saying inside your room will not leak outside and whatever noise outside can’t come inside especially when you leave beside a church or a mosque, please remember I’m an Atheist, lol. Available in Different Designs and Color Casement windows is available in various variety of finishes and colors designs with range of accessories such as chrome, vinyl or brass crank handles, you can also add a range of optional extra such as surface grills and lead grills this makes the casement windows more attractive to the eye and less plain looking like sliding windows. Ventilation Casement windows provide good ventilation and usually allow two way ventilation methods, one which allows you to open the windows full. 3 Likes 1 Share

I will recommend casement windows for residential buildings any day anytime, as a professional, it's economy and durable. If u think otherwise let us have your opinion, we are here to learn after all. I wrap it with nylon, while i was also plastering the house inside the Estate at the time we are fixing the windows so the plastering paste will not dirty the windows.

Dijita: Greetings sir and thanks for your understanding. I didn’t say I won’t pay. I only said I don’t have the N1m now because I do not have it with me. I’m still going to recover some funds from suppliers. For those who knew me, I get all my materials ahead of any project. This particular project is not an exception I’m paying back to my client the amount paid to me on most items that I’ve bought since May 2021 and not refunding funds that were diverted for selfish reasons. >> Atrium Toughened Glass >> Roofing Tarp >> Roofing Sheets & Installation >> Roof installation accessories >> Formwork for Fins https://www.nairaland.com/6450270/construction-journal-xl6-trillion-atrium/3#101421810 The truth is which is easier to do “To build a foundation, walls, slab, staircase, roofing framework and a fence in 2 months (Mar 15 - May 17) or to install roofing sheet in 7 months.” If we didn’t buy materials with the funds given to us, I don’t know how else we would have achieved what we did on the project in 2 months and take more time to do a less than 48 hours roofing installation job. ________ I really wish I made N2m on the project... we won’t be here dragging issues. I’m very sure I didn’t charge up to N1m for supervision and contractors profit out of which 2.5% of the total sum wasn’t paid. _________ I was clear on the issue of refund with the mediator that I’ll do something but I need some time to cool off because I’m working on 3 new projects that belongs to people here and I wont want to be seen as diverting their funds to pay “Gbese” I was also clear on why I’m not doing more than the N1m and why I need to cool my head on other stuffs. Maybe the reasons weren’t clearly communicated. To be honest, I foresee all these issues/challenges and I pleaded with my client to reconsider the recommendation to terminate the contract without properly tidying up all the lose ends. It’ll only cause more delay and heartache. I even shared that this same issue is what I’m handling on another project and we did all we can not to fire any of the subcontractors on the project for best reasons. _______ I’m silent for now because I know responding to every post on this matter won’t fix the issue but make things worse. ________ Thanks once again for your counsel. We’d tidy this one too up and I believe a lot of lessons has been learnt. 6 Likes |

to kick start any building project we know certain things have to be considered first which will then bring out the total bill that the project will entail..... 1. A Registered survey plan This shows the dimension of the said project site and also properly registered with the agency in question, this is a valid document needed from a surveyor in order to facilitate the Architectural designs then the Quantifying comes in.... 2. Architectural designs 3. Mechanical Drawings if needed 4. Building Approval 4.Bill of Quantity 5. Registered Builder 6. Other Artisans 1 Like |

n3xt: What are the cost implications of doing this type of American panel cladding over plastering/screeding and then painting? Is it cheaper? It is very common in US. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 8:39am On Jan 09, 2022 |
Focusmind: It’s not cheaper but it’s worth the extra spend. I use facade cladding on my projects as a step away from traditions; to act as second shell and to also shield the wall against elements. Facade cladding are more easier to care for and require little or no maintenance. On the church project, I decided to use the facade cladding to cover the weather side of the building which is more often affected by rain, wind and weather. I did same on Ilé Ode 1 to conceal imperfections during construction. ______ Cost: 7,000 - 7,500 per sqm ______ This post is made in good faith without disregard to the allegations leveled against me. 5 Likes 1 Share

Focusmind: Yes and yes! For me, everything is about efficiency. I provide the support and all the tools required to deliver the project at reasonable amount. I can’t say the cost will be the same outside. Talking from experience. ________ We don’t have many professional wall siding installers around so it might cost more to engage one that come highly recommended. |

n3xt: Oga Brabus / N3xt.. Truth be told.. this is not tenable.. There's nothing that concerns your client with you recovering money from YOUR own suppliers.. Should he wait and wait till you settle with your own suppliers ![]() Working on 3 new project so you don't want them to think it's their money? All these are just mere excuses. You personally are worth alot of millions if I'm not mistaken. You have alot of dump trucks, machines and other stuff. If you spend 5million today, why will a client think its his money? You are capable of even obtaining a loan to clear this mess to protect your name. A name is really important. It's been at least 3 months after termination of contract. Full refund should have been issued for jobs not done. I've been avoiding commenting on this matter because I don't have all the facts and I honestly can't do the long back and forth read.. Oga Rotech said he spoke to you for over 1 hour on this matter too. 10 Likes |
