gbadexy: Talking about quotation, please confirm the following prices: 1 drum of ready mix potty for screeding 1 drum of brilliant white Emulsion for POP Ceiling 1 drum of colour emulsion ( choice colour supplied later). What are the choices available in this category in terms of product type: eggshell, vinyl, Matt, etc and your recommendation for a superb finish 1 Gallon of rich black oil paint for protector, gate, water tower. Products will be delivered to Warri delta State. So what's your delivery charge and minimum order (if any) to take advantage of economy of scale? What is your lead time: So if I paid today, when will I take delivery? Do you have a colour chart for your products? I have attached two colour charts as reference. So we may be working with MANDARIN in the first chart. In the delux chart it is labelled SUNGOD (SP26471). We will also work with CREAM, PEPPERMINT, WATER and GLORY (SP24800) in the Delux chart. Please let me know if you would experience challenges producing any of these colours. If you would; what are your outlay alternatives? I will contact you deep into the process later, but let's get some preliminary clarity here first for the benefit of others before we go private. 3 Likes

diordaves:Okay sir. I'm mindful of the rules on advert but I would state the prices here for the sake of clarity. A drum of screeding putty is N7000 A drum of brilliant white emulsion is N4500, A drum of colored emulsion is N5000 irrespective of shades, bright or deep shades is the same. A drum of matte emulsion is N14000. A drum of satin is N18000 and a gallon is N4000. A drum of silk is N22500 and a gallon is N4500. silk has semi gloss sheen also but it gives a thicker film coat than satin. The best for pop ceiling in terms of aesthetics is matte. it's flat with little roller marks and has soft sheen. matte, satin and silk can be used for inside use and they are all cleanable. they are best used on screeded walls. matte emulsion is better for external use. The wall may not necessarily be screeded but given a primer to smoothen the surface before application. The rich black oil paint is N6000 per gallon. The keyword here is the rich. The resin binder would be the type used for road marking for durability. I can match any color but the challenge is getting the correct color sample. Phones give different shades from each other. The best is if I could send you my Sherwin Williams color chart to choose from or you can get hold of dulux color chart from painters closeby. I will charge N400 per bucket and it's always easier and cheaper with high quantity but I can send a minimum of 10 drums. Even after giving price here, it's still subject to negotiation as experience has shown that clients still negotiate for discounts which is in turn dependent on total volume. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Abdomox:because of the ceiling nogging, some are done using 2ft x 2ft spacing for pop and 2ft x 4ft spacing for PVC and 4ft x 4ft for asbestos slate, u will need more 2x2 woods if u are doing 2ft x 2ft ceiling nogging spacing compare to 4ft x 4ft spacing, or 2ft x 4ft spacing. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Which dimension is best for POP please? mountmoriah: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mountmoriah(m): 2:52pm On Dec 06, 2018 |
Abdomox:if you are dealing with a professional pop modeler or designer, they can use 2ft by 4ft ceiling nogging, since the binding wire they will use to hold the pop is attach to the tie beam not the nogging, only their yawn is connect with the ceiling noggin, but the fact still remain that majority of them insist on 2ft x 2ft ceiling nogging spacing, for reasons best known to them, so it will be the best to give them what them want, so know excuses from them to the client, so I will say 2ft x 2ft ceiling noggin spacing is the best for them. I will attach pictures tomorrow to support my professionals advice 1 Like 1 Share |

Ulu45: You can try to apply a little heat to the pipe to make it pliable so you can bend it back a bit. I've had success doing that a couple of times. Be sure to use a heat gun (produces hot air), and not an open flame/fire because you will risk burning the pipe or making it too soft. Slow, steady pressure while heating it all around. Try this technique with a spare piece of pipe first to get a feel for what will happen. 2 Likes |

gbadexy: Gbadexy abeg what do you professionals now call the old "oil paints" used in older buildings? What are the merits and demerits of that paint. It seems to have faded in use nowadays. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 6:58am On Dec 10, 2018 |
ceelog:Perhaps it is known by another name that I'm not familiar with but since it's oil based paint, I doubt there would be much difference from the gloss paint in use now. Oil based paints are not really good for walls except wooden or metal parts. They completely seal off the walls and don't allow the walls to breathe through allowing exchange of water vapor. This makes the building to retain heat within. The advantage is that it totally seals off the surface and prevent contact with water which is a good thing when the water is from outside but becomes and issue when it is ground water trying to escape through the building. It traps it in an it eventually leads to the failure if the paint and sometimes the plaster there as water can't be stopped. 1 Like |
