Good morning everyone... Please I have a question, how durable are hdf doors? They are beautiful and all but how long do they last? I have seen damaged hdf doors in hotel rooms though but I felt its improper management....


Please if you are using hdf doors, what are your takes on them?

Just started using mine so I am in no position to advice.

As far as I am concerned, so long as you keep water away you will be fine.

The other issue is the quality of the finishing, over which you have zero control. That is in the hands of whoever you hired.

Sorry to ask an off topic question here. Please I have some LiFePO4 Solar Batteries with a friend in Lekki, beside VGC which I need to pickup from Lekki and transport to Abuja. I would assume Haulage will be the cheapest option to send to Abuja but getting it picked up from Lekki to the Haulage or transport company at an affordable rate is what I need help with. Does anyone know or have info on who can help get it done at reasonably rate. It's 4 Boxes and each box weighs about 100KG.

The Federal Government, sometime last year also rejected Tesla's offer to mine and export raw Lithium out of Nigeria. Insisted they build factories here to process and add local value or forget it.

Good decision by the Federal government✓.
Another area of concern is, how will they manage the potential environmental hazards caused by mining, do we have an active regulatory body? in Nigeria to ensure the best mining practices.

Okay, thanks... I don't think it's possible to keep water away though, except you don't mop the house

You are right.

But consider the following headlines and you will appreciate the need for a wholesale reform of the government's approach to mining regulation.

With more efficient regulation, Nigeria can make as much if not more forex from its minerals than it makes from its oil and gas.

This is my angle

I have been involved in very extensive home remodeling.

One of the questions I asked was "What gap should there be between the floor and the door" , see the pictures below

Except for external doors, your internal doors should never be flush with the floor

That will ensure your doors be there HDF or MDF never have to deal with floor water ( except for a flood, which is an extraordinary event)

I had to resize my doors after the installation of a concrete floor and tiling, so that is the background of the above research

The bolded, perhaps signify improper management/use, Commercial use, where some people can handle it any how, since it's not their house door.

A client of mine, has been using HDF doors for few years now, it still looks neat & sturdy.✓

GIG is serious GBESE, I wouldn't dare. I have some Haulage guys at Tradefair that can send to Abj for 30-40k but it's the logistics of how to move it from Lekki to Tradefair that's the main issue.

Hdf doors are okay, if it's pure hdf, if the door has not been compromised by using mdf instead hdf.

I fixed the doors before tiling.

I then had to take them down for tiling.

Then I had to resize them before reinstallation after tiling.

Quite a process, quite a learning process as well.
