KolaShangOne: Alagba Kola, you no go sleep? Here's the thing: You can never get anywhere in life when your thoughts are driven by unpleasant emotions, obsessions, compulsions and fixations. Law suits are never won based on emotion. Remember if it's written, it did happen. |

FastShipping: I don't agree sir.. 0.45mm longspan is 950 0.45mm step tiles is 1050. And the Aluminium is the same. So why the difference in price? Because of its corrugation. The same reason Step tiles is more expensive than Longspan is the same reason Metcoppo is expensive. The corrugating machine isn't common place yet.ALL those Aluminium are imported. None is "painted" (oven baked) in Nigeria except Sumo. |

KolaShangOne: I have no idea what you are talking about. I recently did my own roofing and I spoke to experts extensively at First Aluminium and Tower that gave me lecturing on these roofing materials. As a matter of fact, I just opened all the quotes I got for long span, step tile and metcoppo before I listed the prices I got here. When was the last time you bought or used step tiles or metcoppo? You can call Mr. Jimmy at Tower - 08023693985 You can call Mr. Kunle Ibidapo at First Aluminium - 08075001262. 2 Likes |

EgunMogaji:there are some components that are yet to found in Nigeria, the truth is we are far behind in productions in Nigeria, all dis things would av been in existence in all dis foreign countries before bringing them to nigeria, when we have those components then we can start making windows with slide and swing in one window |

brabus: Oga Brabus, sleep neva come o.. Happens all the time when I'm stressed.. @adeekiti I hail you right back sir.. @Egun This sliding and swing window will probably have a 2-in-1 hinges.. Nice one |

KolaShangOne:those hinges used are not in Nigeria market for now .. I cant watch the video on my phone now but I can understand what oga egun is saying. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 1:25am On Oct 28, 2015 |
brabus:thats the problem we have in Nigeria, these people won't bring in the materials for public sales but they sell what the nigerian market wants..there are lots of foreign designs but do we have the materials to make them here at the moment? U are taking the nigeria system farther than it can retain and most of these foreign designs can't be maintained in most part of nigeria, is it the neighbourhood with kids, or careless tenants? 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 1:30am On Oct 28, 2015 |
We seem to take pictures of foreign designs and we don't consider the Nigeria maintainance system, if we have a sliding window and swing on one frame, how long do u think it can last with the way we use things in Nigeria, it can be beautifully made, but do we ask ourselves, how many times we open our windows, how many people can take precautions to maintain them.. 2 Likes |

adeekiti:Nigerians need orientation on maintenance. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 1:43am On Oct 28, 2015 |
adeekiti: There're lots of good ideas here but none of them even considers what we must have in Nigeria, window bars. What keeps me up at night now is how I'm going to not make my house look like a prison. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 1:46am On Oct 28, 2015 |
adeekiti: The issue is not how it's used, Nigerian is not unique in that sense, but the quality of the construction. The windows of where I leave nwo were installed in the 70's and still works. We open them daily and close them when we go out so they get used all the time. I've never ever repaired a window in all my time in the US. Nigeria is not on Mars mi oga ![]() |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 1:49am On Oct 28, 2015 |
EgunMogaji:i understand sir and that's why Nigeria system won't allow those things as safety(security reasons), maintainance etc are involved. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 1:55am On Oct 28, 2015 |
Ok can u compare what they use to what they offer us, no. That's when quality is involve, it's . Another example is the cars we use in Nigeria, cars stay good and very neat when use in overseas but the nigerian roads won't allow u to maintain it , and not even the even this days when the quality ones are little in market than the substandard.

adeekiti: With the windows, that's where the consumer has to dictate with his wallet. I'll source Windows from South Africa if I have to but windows of any type are a lifetime investment when good quality materials are used. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 2:02am On Oct 28, 2015 |
Now u want to have a window which is wider than our normal window size yet we must av a burglary to keep yourself secured , that country u are, you can have your windows wide and without burglary that's because everyone /property is still safe, to have a window you Must consider a lot of things in Nigeria, burglars , thieves and careless kids. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 2:06am On Oct 28, 2015 |
EgunMogaji:but how many people can afford what u can afford sir ,u can have a foreign window design that's because u av everything in place to keep yourself safe, but the average nigerians won't even dare try to use the foreign designs considering their Wallets and security, that's why our market can only offer what the masses can afford and thats why we are changing designs little by little till we can be rest assured in having those foreign designs. 2 Likes 1 Share |

adeekiti: Mi Oga AdeEkiti, I work hard so that I get what I want. It took me a long time to finally find an architect that will listen to me and design what I want and not just what's available. I take no compromise. When it's time to do my windows and doors I suspect that it'll take me time too because I'll be looking for someone to cater to MY needs and not what's available. You can have doors and windows that are secure regardless of size. |
