omanzo02: Exactly, for outer wall. A thicker brick with a special hook adapter that holds the bricks to the hollow internal blocks and cement in-between to hold both blocks and bricks together. This is not like the thinner tiles I saw posted by Brunofad sometimes ago. Thanks. See pics below. Hajji M.

omanzo02: Yeah, I meant bricks earlier not tiles. Most buildings here have this trend of bricks as you described. Am still searching for anyone done with just cladding tiles around my area. |

valencia2012: They mostly use stone tiles in Naija instead of the bricks. Advantages - form of insulation for winter and easy to maintain, no painting, when dirty just blasted-wash it down. Disadvantages - Warm in summer but who cares, there is air-condition to cool down the house... 24/7/365(6) electricity supply anyway... ![]() Hajji M. 2 Likes |

valencia2012:They don't use cladding tile in Europe ( as I assume from the house model and environment), wall in Europe consist of inner(block) and outer (bricks)part, the thickness depends on the environment and weather conditions (Germans, Scandinavian and Eastern Europe have thicker walls than houses in western Europe), some walls are insulated. Tiles are mostly used indoors and veranda. |

omanzo02: Same here in most part of USA, especially the apartment buildings, they use bricks. Add more strength to the building. See my other advantages and disadvantages in my earlier post. Thanks. Hajji M. |

mufutau55:Most air-conditioning system are heater these days just like in modern auto's, They regulate automatically by adapting to set temperature, gas heating system are gradually being fased out. |

This electric water heater has been in use in Europe about 2013, it's portable, flat and very efficient, I wonder if it's already available in Nigeria? 1 Like

The games village in surulere has brick walls too and it has been like that forever. From aesthetics point of view, it gives few colour choice and monotonous appearance where much. It may need to be colour matched with a similar paint colour in a situation it gets terribly stained. With dark and dirt friendly colour like the picture sample shown above, it is maintenance free with added weatherproofing effect on the building. 3 Likes |

Good evening expert in the house. I am looking at erecting a galvanized scaffolding tomorrow. The scaffold will carry a tank capacity of 2,000 litres. I need advice on the depth to dig and the ratio of cement to granite and sand. I will appreciate a detailed explanation. The tank has a total length of 15ft. Thank you in advance |

rotecch77:Public electricity system will definitely be a problem, in Nigeria case the rooftop solar water heater is the best solution but then one have to make provision for mounting stands on the roof, it's a very common sight on Turkish rooftops, some dealers are into it in Lagos I read.

² KIDfurniture:In fact, that guy is a complete num skull. I picked the fool here for a similar rail work but he messed up big time. I have never seen a fool like him. Very rough cutting, unprofessional installation (not firmly rooted) appealing joining and best worst finishing. In fact,I don't recommend him at all. He has to effect the correction. 1 Like |
