erico2k2: Eric, I am not a Nairalander, as you have obviously deduced from my having to log in for the first time ever today.I just read and learn everyday.I am not aligned with any soul on here.I just got fed up with the shenanagians of this person. I concur, as you said, that the thread should be peaceful. I personally do not gain from the entries that do not relate to building.But I needed to let him know that some people are not convivial to his atrocities here and needed to put him in his place. My sword is sheated, just as I wrote before you commented. Shalom 6 Likes |

EgunMogaji:Performed wonderfully for about 18 months, then developed a fault with the electrical ignition system causing small earth leakage current. The fix was to completely disconnect the ignition and use a handheld lighter. 1 Like |

Truthinlife:Stamping is far more expensive and fail quickly when not properly executed in-terms of the slab thickness, wiremesh and firmness of the soil. Interlocks are more rugged and failure is usually locallised and isolated. Also intricate paterns can also be achieved with coloured interlocks but drives the cost closer to that of stamped concrete |

diordaves: Its sensitive to our routine floor mopping with water. The alternative is to use polystyrene which is ready made and simply glued to the wall and has far more beautiful designs to choose from. But the cheapest is to use wood, but the finishing is highly dependant on the skill of the carpenter. |

Kadiri07: Stamped floor? Cost analysis and the sqm will help people here. Thx. Hajji M. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 12:37am On Jul 15, 2017 |
Kadiri07: Oh cool, thanks for sharing Sir. 1) Did you consider interlocking also? If so why did you decide on stamped concrete? 2) Could you share cost if possible? 3) How is it holding up so far with traffic? Thanks once again. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 12:39am On Jul 15, 2017 |
44chux: Wow..thanks Sir. This exact model? Other than the ignition issues, how's the fit and finish holding up? |

anochuks08: I think the problem with the metcoppo is due to mistakes during cutting of the edges due to defective machinery. In my experience, all first aluminium factory cut metcoppo roofs (10 of them)did not suffer any major leak in the first 2years. Also, most open market sourced 0.45mm are actually 0.35mm hence they are too thin for either metcoppo or step tile press stress. |

44chux: Thank you. On the course of my research, I have heard exactly what you described and about the cost too. Hajji M. |

EgunMogaji: I considered interlocking, but was told by my bricklayer that my land isn't waterlogged so there is no need for interlocking and also interlocking is expensive. I was charged # 80,000 by my bricklayer for the plastering of the fence and flooring of the compound (stamped floor inclusive). So i wasn't charged based on sqm. Its over 2months now and no damage yet. Thanks 1 Like |

Just for block manufacturers (and home owners alike)... This is what can be achieved aesthetically and cost savings-wise (savings on screeding/plastering/painting )when your blocks are strong and durable
