The color is called TRAFFIC BLACK,
FAN product but from a good corrugation company.

If your doing a project in PH and intend using metcoppo tiles, I'll suggest you buy from Vinal Aluminium.
They produced this particular tiles and the gauge is 0.45mm.
Dont use 0.45mm for your flashes pls,
0.55mm is best for the flashes cus it gives you a neat finish.

@koman . pls what is the roofing wood demand of this metcoppo compared to stone coated roofing sheets

And what's the price range for the wardrobes?

spyder880:


I liked the contributions of that guy, after I understood him and enjoyed his inputs. I wish he is still around.

Agreed. I missed him too.

This is very nice. I still prefer the coffee black color to traffic black. I wouldn't mind any of the two colors. With the picture you uploaded, I don't see anything wrong using 0.45mm. It is now Metcoppo Step Tile for me or nothing. Finding the right company with the right machine to do the pressing is going to be the daunting task.

By the way, where did you get those Metcoppo roofing pictures?

I did the installation .

I run small firm that undertakes
# installation of roofing sheets
# aluminum windows
# wardrobes & cabinets
# Pvc ceiling installation and
# doors

You need to rotate your pictures before you break our necks... Fine furniture though.

Hajji M.

Sorry for bending your neck sir.
I've taken note.

Why don't you open a thread and show us some of your work.. I will surely be interested... I love to see building materials of all kinds.
And everything you mentioned above are the essentials requirements that we all need. Thanks.

From my observations, the stone coated tiles requires 3/4 extra quantity of wood from what is needed for woodwork of metcoppo tiles.

The reason for the extra quantity of wood is
1) stone tiles comes in small sheets ot 400 x1000mm , so it requires a spacing of 370mm between the pole lines while
Metcoppo requires a spacing of 400 - 460mm for good installation.

2) stone tiles are very heavy compared to aluminum sheets so it calls for more reenforcement,
Which means you need more wood for your tie beam, struts and king post to avoid lagging or sagging in the future.

Oga spyder,
What's the advantage of having thunder arrestor round the building over having on top of the roof?

Oga spyder,
What's the advantage of having thunder arrestor round the building over having on top of the roof?

We don't have thunder arrestors around the building, what we call the thunder arrestor is the pointer which is usually mounted on the king post of the roof where it could protect the house. However we have other apparatus which when combined with the arrestor, will form the thunder protection mechanism.

These collection of items include

1. The earthing rod (as shown in your later pictures)

2. The copper tape (which connects the arrestor with the earthing rod below the surface)

3. The copper clips (which secures the copper tape to the wall as it runs from the roof into the ground)

4. A bag of salt

5. A bag of charcoal

All these will be used by trained technicians in a combination that will give the building protection against the negative effects of thunder strikes. I have also noticed the type they mount with wires attached to the earthing rod. I have not tested the efficiency of that system of doing it.

And what's the price range for the wardrobes?

As for the wardrobes, the price depends on the dimension, type of material & accessories to used.

Basically there are two types of boards that can be for this kind if wardrobe namely
# minimum density fibreboard (MDF) &
# high density fibreboard (HDF)

The two boards have the same finish and appeal when you look at it but HDF is stronger and more expensive. A sheet of mdf is sold between N4,700 & N5,000 while hdf is between N8,000 & N8,500 in PH.

The price range varies,
for a wardrobe of 1.8 x2.1m or 6 x 7"
Using mdf will cost 60k while
Hdf will cost 85k.


The sliding door comes at extra cost,
The same size of wardrobe will cost 110k.

There's no arestor on top of this building, they buried them at the four conners of the building and they are connected with the yellow & green insulated copper cable.
I was at the site today to fix the windows and checked very well no arestor is mounted at the king post.
I wanted to ask the engineer the advantages but he left before I could ask.

Nice job!

@ koman. Thanks a lot. Will need ur contact when I get to tHat stage.

Depending on company producing it. China imports are always cheaper than Nigerian made. Some bundles contain 10 while some companies pack 15 sheets per bundle.

Hello spyder and esteemed nairalanders,
What is your view on stamped concrete floor? Does any one have any good design they can share? Am in the process of flooring my compound and am considering doing a concrete stamped floor.

Try Nigerian made "Paragon Amoula Ventures" PVC. That is what I use and very good.

The average price between the corrugation companies I buy from is as follows:

0.45mm btw 1,350 -1,400 naira per metre square

0.55mm btm 1,550 - 1,600 naira per metre square


I'll advice you to use first aluminum NUT BROWN or TRAFFIC BLACK because years of usage has proven they can stand the test of time.

Oga spyder,

Do you do or know someone that does ashphalting?

A client of mine wants to do it.

I'd also like to knw if there's any advantage of using ashphalt over interlock apart from the algae that grows on the interlock in some locations.

I will ask around for a person and give you his contact.

Ladies and gentlemen, you will all agree with me that most major construction activities for this great building is almost completed. Since we are just left with the finer details of the finishing work, I think the time has come for us to stop the picture updates in this house until maybe when it is fully completed so we can just see the finished building from the outside only.

It has been quite an experience for me and my team, we enjoyed building this house with all the ups and downs that comes from building construction. We also learned a whole lot of lessons which will definitely come in handy in consequent projects.

We thank you all for your attention, patience, understanding and constructive feedback. It is all well appreciated. As we continue to discuss and maybe arrive at a cost later, I thank you all once again.
