Use PVC ceiling for your bathrooms sir

Please house, can I build a 2 flats of two bedroom on a half plot of land?

Too tight. A typical 2 bedroom will use up 11m x 8m.. (22m x 8m) and the half plot is 15 x 15m I suppose..

Yes, I used in mine.

chidexy:


Please go for POP. It's safer, more durable and look good aesthetically. I considered using Innoson for part of my project, but when I got a quote from them and compared it with the cost of doing POP, I had to beat a retreat. If you don't have all the fund at once, you can realise the project in bits. I have completed now almost 300 square meters

Thanks. Mine is just like 220sqmt for my duplex, I don't have energy for the attached 2 units of 3 bedrooms for now.��

I am going with POP, they are starting next week.

Chekitaut:
Call me

Oga Chekitaut I hope you have set things up for me. Time is money so no dissappoint me oh.

@chidexy Can you pls help us with the costing for Pop and also recommend good worker here in Lagos

Rubbiish:

Why Sir?

EgunMogaji:


Why Sir?

POP - Fire resistant but not friendly with water
PVC - Water resistant, not friendly with fire.

It is natural for water to splash on doors & ceiling during bath, it is recommended to use PVC for bathroom ceilngs & doors.

Whom ever showers with water reaching the ceiling probably need to review their methods

Anyways, a good quality gloss paint will take care of that.

PVC should actually be banned from the market.

If pvc should be banned what material did you use for plumbing?

You can answer that question yourself Sir.

But we’re talking about ceiling, not plumbing

I am almost 7ft (6ft 4ins exact) tall with long hand span and no water on my ceilings.
POP can retain or repell water to a very extense.
There is no justification not to use POP in a bathroom.

I concur with you sir absolutely. I have done External POP fascial and ceiling screened with external screening material painted with gloss, years counting and they are still functional and neat.

LMAO

Sorry, it was a serious question. I didn’t mean to irritate.

I was under the impression that pvc piping material was one of the best

Not everyone can afford POP sir
My dad used PVC ceiling for his house, all through. Till this moment the PVC looks very good. Its cleaning is very easy.

I wasn’t irritated at all actually.

PVC is good for plumbing up to a point. Our artisans are lazy because there are some places where metal should be used.

When plastic burns it gives off chemicals and this is why I don’t like PVC for ceiling. Fire doesn’t kill as much as smoke and what it contains.

By the way you can also use PEX for plumbing. I hope to use this on my main house.

Cleaning is not my issue with PVC, it’s fire and safety. There are also alternatives to PVC and POP as far as roofing is concerned.

I used PVC for my soffit but will be changed to wood soon.

Thank you for the information. I will look into this. I hope they have this in Nigeria

How about something like this compare to PVC. POP was used for the living rooms and corrido

We’ve discussed that one on here too. They call it asbestos but it actually doesn’t have asbestos in it anymore.

Better alternative to pvc for looks but I haven’t seen the fire tests.

but i saw pop having cracks and even falled down. how can that be prevented?

When not done properly

This is interesting and very possible. The main thing is to have a waterproof barrier.
Adding white cement with gypsum cement further still improves it's durability when in contact with water.

Guys I have serious question Or let me say important question
We all know that most people that design three to 4 storey building usually use kick out columns
Even when der is cantilever or not
Pls I want to ask is it actually necessary or it old style of building
What if u buried d pillar for it to flush with d wall is der any structural implication in it ??


Because I building of 3 deck and d structural ENGR buried d columns inside d walls and it was stamped and approved by LGA .


Now I saw an ENGR who is building 4 deck and he kicked out his columns but in d architectural design of the same house . d architect (me) designed it in a away all column must be buried .

Does it mean our engrs cant do wonders with structures any more. .must I kick out my columns pls I need answers and ideas. Thanks
