Jeff68: You can also mix. I used Spanish for high traffic major areas like Livingroom,hallways, and staircases where people will use mostly.

gbadexy: Oga mi Sir. I expect a lot from a screeder. If my wall is screeded and it's not smooth, then what is the work of the screeder or what did he screeded? I thought the screeders can fill a hole or gap with putty or cement to make the wall smooth... why should a painter do that. I know some painters does correct some areas not done well, but I think I will hold the Screeder responsible if my wall is not smooth. Just my expectations o. @Gbadexy @Twinskenny @snazzy5050 Hajji M. 3 Likes |

Donoppy: Hi.. If I advice you would you listen? 1. The 1st 3 items are one, I love how he splitted it to gain more cash. 2. He's charging you to lay nylon on the floor lol.. Who does that 3. The charges are even out of this world... NOW MY ADVICE. Don't negotiate with him, tell him you don't need his service. Offcourse that's my opinion, you don't have to take it BUT save this post.

Hi Mr Jeff The kind(quality and size) of tiles you use for either of these space would depend on your financial capacity and also on what you hope to achieve at the end of the day. If you want a beautiful and durable floor then perhaps you go with Spanish made tiles for most of them. Bt if you want some durable tiles that are not necessarily expensive then Nigeria or China can serve . However I do advice my clients to go for Spanish for major areas like sittingroom and dining ,walk ways ,entrance,kitchen wall and floor while they use less expensive bt not necessarily less durable tiles for the other areas .

mufutau55:Screeders don't do the sandpaper sir. They just screed and smoothen it. Some may want to make extra money and charge for doing it but it's the duty of the painters. That's why they charge slightly higher for painting screeded wall. With painter doing the sandpaper, they won't be able to push blame on the screeder for the final outcome. I know for a fact that all the painters I recommend and use demand for sandpaper and use it before painting. Painters should be responsible for the surface preparation to give best finish. 2 Likes |

gbadexy: Thank you for the education sir. It seems I am not understanding the work of screeders then. I know the painters does patches here and there. Remember my last project, I thought I needed the painter to do all those patches because it was a cement screeded and the screeder did not do a good job, now I know I was wrong. So, my next question, what is the importancy of screeding house and why is it needed? Thanks. Hajji M. |

Donoppy: NO1. 10k - 15k because its just blinding and shd be done in hours (does not include Iron bender work) NO2. OK NO3, 25K NO4. We're talking of about 2500 blocks (l believe less) here if the design is massive; so 150k - 200k NO5. 20k NO6. 50K NO7. FREE - shd be part of NO6 or done as goodwill, well 10k (2 days work) NO8. LOL NO9. If what you're using is mesh wire - 5k is OK, but if you're using 8mm rods then 15K NO10. I don't even know how to price this, cos 150k should do the job.... (minus amount used to rent machine paid seperately) This prices are generated using 2 bedroom flats x 2 - TOTAL is about 550k |

Jeff68: Well Mr Jeff. Hello and Good evening to you too Base on you post, it depend on what you want to use and where you want use it, all directed to your financial capacity. The most durable tiles is Spanish and italian made tiles and also the most expensive follow by China and then Nigeria. Some people dothis, if it is a commercial house you want to use it then you consider the kind of area the house is located then you know the type of tiles you use for e.g if you build a commercial house in lekki or aja use expensive tiles because thing there are expensive but if it like agbara area then you come down to it level Mind you you can get less expensive tiles that are durable too maybe not with beautiful design BT durable But if the house is ur private house then I will advice you get something quality and durable base on your financial capacity, if you can use Spanish throughout then you can mix it. The most traffic path like sittingroom, dinning,walkway,balcony,step you use quality ones then the rest rooms, toilet visitors room and so on All this I said is not JUST base on my on option only but what I have seen some of my client use U can check out my tiles if you want https://www.nairaland.com/4781449/showroom-tiles-tiles-tiles-tiles 1 Like |

Jeff68: What's the length and breadth of the building if you assumed it to be rectangular in shape? Knowing the dimensions of the building will help in verifying the quantities for the measured area. Secondly, ask Tiles sellers to send you cost/m2 of different types of tiles in order to know the current market price of tiles. On Labour, cost of laying tiles per square metres is usually between #250 to #500 per square metres depending on the skills of the tiler, experience and your negotiation skill. 1 Like |

You have really answered my questions, with paragraphs 2& 3!! That gives me a good place to begin. Thanks!! So a little more on the house, it's a 4 bedroom duplex in the front with 2 -3 bedroom flat at the back for rental. The duplex is pretty much a glorified vacation house, we will not be there all the time, now with that, what type of files should we use since we will not be there all the time, but still want quality. quote author=QSFemi post=90065165] What's the length and breadth of the building if you assumed it to be rectangular in shape?

mufutau55:The screeding fixes cracks and smoothen the wall surface in a way that regular cement and sand plaster can never achieve. The major difference between the sand/cement plaster and the screeding is the smooth calcium carbonate powder aggregate in the pop emulsion used mix the cement. With regular plaster, the sand aggregate is rough compared to calcium carbonate powder and it's noticeable from the grainy pores on the surface on cement plaster. With screeding, either with gypsum or portland cement, the surface is smoother because all the materials are powder smooth. However after the wall is screeded, it would still need to be sandpapered uniformly smooth before painting. The level of smoothness of the screeding would determine how much to sandpaper. Some screeding are so smooth that only slight smooth sandpaper is necessary. Your cement screeding was smooth sir. The painter only had to fill some cracks on the cement screeding. Cement screeding have the tendency to crack unlike pop and basecoat putty. 3 Likes |
