Akpuoru: Please make sure the 2 dont come close to each other. It will be worst than not having lightening protection at all. Imagine it this way, its like plugging your tv or the entire house to lightening. Earthing and lightening protection are 2 different systems. |

This is the best time of the year to invest in real estate. The 13th month, bonuses, etcetera should be used for something tangible, hence few weeks from now you'll begin to wonder where all the cash went. I did some years ago, and today, I am better off for it. 2 plots of land are available @ Treasure Parks and Garden Phase 2, City of David Estate, SHIMAWA. I am offering 50% discount off the current market value offered by Adron Homes and Properties. Anyone interested can buy one or the 2. My contact: 07062160601.

Truthinlife: A beg wetin be cement screeding? . I look at POP screeding on must external walls and they way they flake off easily and the whole house looks disgusting afterwards. Maybe this cement screeding go withstand our harsh tropical weather. I would like to know more about it... |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Truthinlife: 9:41am On Dec 01, 2017 |
alstacs:I believe so as well. From what I have read here, respectable men like Spyder and Hajj attest to its quality; however I don’t know if they used similar cement screeding on internal walls; that’s why I am asking for ideas from people who have done it to enlighten us. |

Truthinlife: Cement screeding is used majorly for external walls. Not seen it uses inside but its possible. POP screeding is used for internal walls to get the surface smooth and ready for *satin* painting (painting doesn't consume much paint -satin is very expensive). Use Elephant cement. Doesnt dry too fast so prevents flaking. 1 Like |

Truthinlife: Yes. Yiu can use cement screeding anywhere. That is what I used on my present project for internal and external. Yiu can use any cement, it depends on who do your screeding. My unqualified opinion. Hajji M. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gabbytabby: 2:59pm On Dec 01, 2017 |
I go find your trouble small or should i say bust your bubble small. If you get good plasterer who will sift the good plaster sand that you buy then you dont need to screed. Screeding na wayo extra work and money. mufutau55: 3 Likes |

mufutau55: Alhaji, I have two questions, 1. this cement screeding is a process after normal plastering I presume? Or is it done during the normal plastering? 2.what does it look like? I sincerely am not comfortable with POP screeding outside, so this will be a good option for me. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 6:49pm On Dec 01, 2017 |
alstacs:let me help hajji out here. screeding is done after plastering the building. cement screeding is smoother and better in my opinion. I used to have pictures of cement screeding of different projects but i don't have them anymore. However, I will post pictures of a painted project that cement screeding was used. just for the record, I don't get involved in any form of screeding, I'm just giving my personal opinion. I've seen countless of pop screeding on sites and I've seen cement screeding and I only speak from my observation. On a professional level, cement screeding doesn't set fast and won't waste materials. it's smoother because it has longer open time to work it and has free lime to make it flexible when working before it sets. water doesn't affect it, and water in paints also combine with the cement to further hydrate it. The water won't evaporate from the wall but would rather be soaked in by the cement to further hydrate it and make it stronger. The paint would therefore be chemically linked with the wall. it's won't peal off easily unlike pop screeding. There is no cement/sand plaster that can give the level of smoothness as screeding. no matter how many times the sands are sifted. you only need to compare the aggregate of both. The aggregate in pop emulsion paint used as the aggregate is calcium carbonate powder. you are basically comparing plaster sand to calcium carbonate powder in smoothness. I've seen very well plastered walls that doesn't require screeding for matte emulsion to be applied on it, however it would still need to be screeded for satin to be applied on it. satin is thin and light and the tiny pores on cement plaster would be obvious and won't give that perfect smooth finish. modified to include cement screeding 4 Likes

I lifted the pictures from a thread I opened for a project. The interior and exterior was screeded with cement and pop emulsion paint.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rubbiish(m): 7:16pm On Dec 01, 2017 |
gbadexy:Very detailed explanation sir! In summary your submission is cement screeding is better than POP screeding? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Truthinlife: 7:23pm On Dec 01, 2017 |
gbadexy:Thanks Everyone for this enlightenment. That’s the goal of this thread, to share ideas and one make an informed/wise decision. The walls look smooth and beautiful painting. Last important question; How long do you wait after cement screeding before painting. Will the painter do primer or just straight painting. Once again, I appreciate the comments from everyone. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 7:23pm On Dec 01, 2017 |
Rubbiish:absolutely sir. White glue or other forms of binder like the topbond should be included. 2 kg per drum of paint is ok. Ideally if it were to be regular paint, even the low budget type, there won't be need for adding extra binder. but the screeding emulsion paint generally have very low binder. 1 Like |

Ciga22: With all due respects Bro, and as a bona fide Enugu resident, a small duplex and a 3 storeyed building of flats may not fit into the same land if the plot size is only 90 x 60 ft. Except if the flats is not a double wing of flats which should mean about 8 flats of 2 bedrooms. For one, the buildings cannot fit into the land talk less of park and living space. Soakaway tanks and possible water tanks. I suggest you get an architect to do you a sketch of what is possible before you move any further, lands are very costly, so ensure you make the best use of it. Good luck.
