Innu: Yes. You can change the sheets. Problem with 0.45mm step tiles is that it won't leak on installation. After 1 year or 2 of intermittent sunshine and rainfall (contracting and expanding) it begins to tear leaving little problematic holes and serious leaking issues. But first, you have to determine where leaking is if you're going to change some of the sheets. A leak at point A might originate from several metres away. If leaking isn't too much you can use felt to cover the holes. As for the wall soaking, you can post a picture here. |

Hi, can anyone recommend a good POP installer to me? I used pvc ceiling when I built my house over 5 years ago and now I would like to convert to pop. Am living in the house presently so the person to fix must be a pro that can work with minimal mess. Kindly help a brother out as am tired of cleaning pvc ceiling. 1 Like |

FastShipping: Sir, Its very obvious you are still looking down on locally made tiles, i'm not comparing Italian and Spanish tiles to our locally made tiles, No!. I implore you to take out time from your busy schedule and do a market research, don't send anyone, like oga EgunMogaji rightly said "leave your ATM at home" and go to the market alone, you'll be surprised at the level of improvement we've made, and i'm sure thoughts like combining Italian, Spanish and Nigerian tiles like chief mufutau55 or going all Nigeria like EgunMogaji will definitely cross your mind. If you want quality tiles and can afford Italian and Spanish tiles great! Go for it, but for those on budget that can't afford Italian and Spanish tiles, you can still get quality in Nigerian tiles for 30--40% less. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Innu: Let me answer Q1..Kolashangone has answered Q2 & 3. The issue most likely is coming from your windows. It may be that the window installer did not seal all the window edges with silicon OR if you used sliding windows, the weep holes in the bottom window frame which usually allows rain water in the frame flow outside was not installed OR if they were, your bricklayer has erroneously plastered the window reveals to a thickness as to cover the weep holes OR there is a crack in the blockwork around the bottom of the window which is letting in water. You will need to carefully inspect the window areas to determine which of these might be the issue and invite your window installer and/or bricklayer to resolve it. If you hadn't installed your windows, I would have advised you to construct a concrete window sill with groove and bevelled edges. This helps a lot against driving rain. Regards. 1 Like |

diordaves: That is very good analysis over there. I will start by saying that every serious building contractors/enguneers/architect is looking for cheaper and more effective ways to deliver cost effective housing for the teaming population of this country. The initiative is there but we have so many bottlenecks that I will highlights because here we are talking about a practical solution to our building problem. Before we can adapt any cost effective method of building low cost housing, the things we normally look at are how well we can source the materials locally, how well can we design the building to reduce waste and at the same time building very attractive houses, how structurally sound can this house be for the safety of those that will occupy these houses and finally aesthetically pleasing can this house be. Availability of raw materials- the most readily available materials in most part of Nigeria is laterite, clay, sharp sand and rocks. |
