@ FastShipping, EBM is a good alternative to our Hammerglass pursuit. The price is fair if it'll be handled by real pros and not agents.

If you doubt me, give them a trial with a sample and send a private investigator to see where it'll be done, you'll see that it won't be fabricated at the shop address in the letterhead.

Few guys can take the risk. You don't wanna mess up an EBM job. Offcut no dey market.

EBM 1st choice, EBM 2nd choice, anodized aluminum 3rd choice. I'm waiting for one more quote from one Mr. Pini Anitov at EBM Nigeria before I send my architect to meet them in person. No room for error on this one.

I think i prefer engineered wood flooring.

Laminates do degrade over time, if furniture is dragged on it, water damage as well or if something heavy drops on it and it has a gouge.
With proper wood flooring, every couple of years, you can sand it and lacquer it. Another lease of life without actually replacing the whole thing.
What I do not get is that despite the abundance of wood we have in nija, why dont we make proper wood flooring ?


Just a thought.


Well from my own view I dont think this will be a wise choice, wood floor wont last in Nigeria cos of sand factor, if in the bedroom or private areas hmmm mayB.It would cost 2much to maintain as you just said, sanding and re finishing,do you realy want to have a re acurent expenditure on your flooring

You mean those guys at Ojota. Their prices will be nearly double what you got here. That's where EBM installers nationwide are trained.

Also, you need to be aware that there's imported EBM which you may not be able to differentiate from the real ones. EBM Nigeria won't sell you that but the boys in the village can do that if you don't know the difference.

There's nothing EBM than the accessories. They're WOW!


Bros, just do your due diligence.

To support your point, I dont think either engineered wood or laminate will last long with the kind of humidity we have in Naija.

Humidity can cause it to swell and misalign

But then they use this stuff in Georgia and Florida though.

I wonder if they have different grades.

Good point.
A friend of mine with a house at cooperative villa told me he used wooden flooring. Even for the staircase he said. I have not seen it but this is what he told me. He said the wood used for the stairs was sourced in nija and then treated. He did import the remaining wood flooring.

Wood would also be a challenge with the way we fit doors. With tiles sharp sand and cement can be used to raise the level of the floor etc.

Property section is more complex and hotter than I earlier thought.
Please sirs, let's tone down on the harsh words. This is an assembly of intellectuals and the bickerings diminishes this wonderful thread.
Oga brabus, a word of caution and advice from a young boy. The anger and hatred against you by some aggrieved persons is intense and would ideally keep me very concerned were I to be faced with such. Please try and make peace. It's a show of strength and maturity. It doesn't make you less of a man.
Men are predictable. We have ego and detest being cheated or offended. But once our ego is appealed to by sincere apologies and careful choice of words, issues almost always end amicably.
Peace.

A superb advice that's been popularly given over the years. Since at least 2011.

Those places have steady air condition to control the humidity in the house my guess and yes I want to believe they have diff grades too. I dont see a problem using it in naija provide one can keep it from getting moist or wet.

The reason for this section was to discuss property related issues and not personal issues. I believe we all are adults here and as such we should act like adults. If you have issues with people go meet the person and settle it. We all came here to learn about building and not to read personal issues. I imagine if it were to be little kids using insulting words like these we will blame their parents for the lack of proper training. Now I wonder who we should blame when grown up Nigerian adults insult themselves and their parents on a public web. Come on guys we are all here to improve ourselves and not here to know who is well educated or who have a PH.D. In English. If you know too much then you should not be here. This is me just saying my mind becos I am sick of our so called Nigeria attitude.

@ all,

The ideas we share here are all lovely, thought provoking and innovative. I am from the school of thought who strongly believe in the practicals.

The discourse on windows protectors that will serve the 3 needs of safety, security and aesthetics should be "test constructed" for our inspection. One of us should volunteer 10k, we bring in one of us who is good in burglary proof and then he builds it with pictures for us to see. Where is Muyesky? I can vote N10k for a sample window which will solve the 3 needs.

If I have time I will sit down with a welder and construct this, but I will work in 4 states this week and time will be so scarce.

We need practical works.
