Port443: You can use fiber cement to do anything like the way POP ceiling is done. You only need to cut the wood frame into shapes and layers (depending on the thickness of wood you are using for the height) you want and then cut and clad the cements fibers and screw or nail them before grouting. I may be able to send you YouTube videos of how Arabs do it. 2 Likes |

diordaves: You’re very correct sir! Infact as a professional Engr/Builder we must atleast limit usage of combustible elements while choosing materials, most especially on finishing materials. Is even established in health and safety curriculum Biztech consult. 1 Like |

Speaking on this Polystyrene, Is there anyone on here that does installation? 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by toyeoye(m): 8:25am On May 03 |
Biztech02: Engineer please refer us to this curriculum as it concerns the use of polystyrene. "Despite many popular beliefs, polystyrene is no more damageable than other materials when burning. Polystyrene burns and emits energy, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapour and soot, but no other gas. In fact, the black smoke emitted by Polystyrene combustion is less harmful than the smoke coming from organic materials, and less toxic than fumes of a burning fir tree, pressed wood or expanded cork." |

diordaves: This is really impressive. Hope the price difference with POP is substantial. And hope the money saved on POP will not be spent on wood?

There's this option of using plaster board/gypsum board. Do you have any idea about its usage or is it the same as fiber cement? diordaves: |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 1:39pm On May 04 |
Beframia: Yes, there is also the option for plaster board and gypsum board. Materials wise, plaster board and gypsum board are the same thing to be honest. It is just nomenclatures and semantics. But cement fibre board are remarkably different. These are FINISHED products that offer quick, simple installation. With cement fibre board, all you need do is your nogging. Take your fibre board and screw it (or follow the manufacturers' recommendation) to your noggings. Joint it and then paint with your choice of colour. Shikena! Fibre cement offers a quick simple installation at a fraction of the cost in relation to POP installation and gypsum/plaster board. Two people working can complete ceiling boarding a standard 3 bedroom bungalow in one day ready for painting. |

My diordaves:This firber cement board, is it different from the regular old abestos we used to use? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 4:48pm On May 04 |
lorhema: Good afternoon, Madam Honourable. I don't know of any even in the whole of Lagos. I'm not sure, but I think the South West is serviced by the Ibadan drillers. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 5:07pm On May 04 |
Jokay07: Yes it is different. It is thicker and made mainly from cement mixed with fibre. The fibre infused and thickness means you can work it into organic designs without it breaking easily. The old asbestos is made purely to a large extent from asbestos which causes cancer. It is so slime (about 0.5mm), that it is difficult to work into organic designs without the risk of breakage. You can only achieve geometric designs (four corner). However, in terms of FINISHED product, yes they are both the same. 1 Like 1 Share |

speak2bella: Hi. First I read a comment where sm1 said you shd break... DON'T. 2, the shape of the soak-away don't matter, so don't worry about the bent (converging) side, what you shd be worried about is the cracks and possible leakage. Solution. Continue to sink the septic tank until you get to the FINAL POSITION. Then, see the existing 4 walls of the Septic tank and your EXTERNAL FORMWORK. Proceed to create internal formwork 150mm thick minimum ALSO reinforced with 12mm rods @ same spacing you used before. Lastly, cast the new concrete wall and enjoy. You'll have a wall of about 350mm thick and a slightly smaller internal dimension but no worries.... Keep. Me. Updated. If. You. Need. Further. Help. 5 Likes |

Badgers14: There are 2 things that wld make it crack. No1. They didn't wait for the 21 days curing time before they started sinking. No2. Poor cement mix, but I'll believe it's the 1st because of the nature of the crack. 3 Likes |
