If you need cement for your tiles work, please get in touch on how to get Supafix for your project. It’s far cheaper and more reliable! You can also request for demo.

n3xt:I need clarification on this supafix. Can I use it for floor tiles without screeding with sharp sand and cement after German floor? Can we use it for tiles ONLY or it has other usage? 50 bags minimum order is for people building duplex or massive 4-5 bedroom bungalow na if 1 bag will cover 5sqm. what about we the Kobo Bobo small hut owners? 3 Likes |

zuraking: It is for tiles ONLY (indoor application and swimming pools). It’ll work for external application but it is not recommended. You can only use C2 class for external tiles (high rise buildings). Let me know the quantity you want. We can always work it out. #metoo I’m a member of small hut owner’s association. |

omanzo02: We asked and we were told the situation will normalize soon. I think demand for cement only went higher post-covid and it was a big surprise to the Channel Partners (CP) Supafix will solve one part of the problem and it’s more economical. The only issue is homeowners/developers need to demand more quality job from builders/engineers alike. Straight walls and flat slabs 1 Like |

MrOkenwa: At the bolded. (which is the bone of contention between the young man and those who criticised his stance). But first, thank you for your response. Let me summarise with two phrases: 1) To whom much is given, much is expected. 2) You cannot be crowned an Eagle and claim to be unable to snatch Chickens! (what else is an Eagle supposed to do? With those two above, l will say there are legitimate expectations of 'followers', from a 'leader', in all spheres of life. You see, the fact that we all come here and get Professional assistance/information, did not happen by CHANCE, it is the result of a coordinated effort of a lot of people, that brought us to this point and one of the ENABLING RULES that made it happen is because we hold ourselves (voluntarily) to a HIGH and NOBLE Standard. A major fulcrum of such Standard is that when you see wrong or you hear wrong being perpetuated, YOU SPEAK OUT. It does not matter whether that wrong is to a stranger, to the Customer of a Competitor, to an Industry that is not you own, to your paddy-paddy or so many other "considerations" we can conveniently hide behind. Looking out for and looking after one another is not a difficult thing, but it has helped a lot of people, Home Owners, Professionals, Contractors, Suppliers, etc. It is an Eco-System of mutual -benefit and the moment we start to entertain this notion of "E nor concern me, as long as it does not affect me", especially if you are considered a "Leader", we start to gradually destroy that Eco-System. (Remember @Hajj M and others have been given stick for not speaking out on certain occasions, not because he/they have anything to do with the issue, but because he/they are considered leaders' here and rightly so!). To whom Much is Given, Much is Expected. The name-calling, though unnecessary, was just a natural response to his remarks, though l wont call him names, personally. Thank you Sir. Incase l am still not clear, imagine if your bricklayer Builder was building your Storey Building Columns and was using a 8mm Iron Rods. Imagine you not being a Professional in that field, came here and asked whether this is proper. Imagine if the likes of Spyder, Segzy, Abdulwatexc, Aventures, (Professionals), Hajj, Egunmogaji, (Experienced Owners), etc saw that Question, and THEY DECIDE TO KEEP QUIET, because it is not their problem. How does that sound to you, in all honesty? Will you say it is right for them to just to ignore you and say afteral, "You are not their Client"? They dont owe you any response but as 'leaders' in various field, they owe you the right information, which is why we are all here, which is where Imran Roofing went wrong, which is what started the argument. A Society that grows, is one which protects and looks after one another, without expecting 'immediate profit'. 11 Likes |

MrOkenwa: No Sir, what l mean is about the issue we are discussing. I mean you are "missing a lot" about the issue that is the cause of the angst of others, over the silence of the Contractor in question. As in, there are other angles (as l explained in my post above), that you have not put into consideration, apart from the Contractor not owing anybody any explanations as to his silence, in the face of injustice. Let me also add that we look after each other here, you have also contributed to my own knowledge, together, we strive to assist ourselves, that is why l, personally, will frown at a "me, me and myself approach", from anyone here.

n3xt: There product is nice. But I’m not saying this to devalue there product but to elaborate The process more to the end users. In all honesty the superflex can’t save you money to normal OPC cement. Bcs 95pec structure in Nigeria are not well leveled both wall and floor All of them required leveling both wall and floor The only area you can get good leveling is when you are tiling on EXISTING TILES or PLYWOOD. These surface will only required tiny thickness of superflex like 1-3mm, with this you can get 5m area covered with 1 bag of superflex 20kg. But in all others wall you will need about 8-12mm thickness to get some of this wall to normal level What does this mean: very simple and the answer is you will need more superflex to achieve this. This is where you get it NOT cheaper to use. But in terms of marble work on top of kitchen casted slab, or wall marble work go for it bcs of its nature(gummy). But if you can straighten your wall or floor before application of the superflex you are good to go. But remember you are using normal cement and sand to do this which is another cost also. In conclusion it’s not cheaper to use here in Nigeria in term of saving cost. This is my practical experience on it for some years back. You can try your Not bibeli 3 Likes |

Anything measurement as far as I am concern, little percentage must be added(2-5% waste), it become rip off if roofer add too much percentage and hide some in his own pocket. Quantity surveyor in the house can testify... KIDfurniture: |

rotecch77: Baba, whether you have leveled floor or not, you cannot use only cement to install tiles on floors. You’ll still need some sand That’s a negative on OPC. Moreso, demanding straight walls and leveled floors from our contractors shouldn’t be a rocket science if it can be achieved elsewhere. Finally, it’s only here we use OPC to install tiles. By standard, tiles installation are done with adhesive. Am I right or wrong? That 1m people are doing it wrong doesn’t make it right. Even if the wall is terrible, is it that most of our tilers don’t know about backer boards. These stuffs and solutions are out there for years. I think we are just stuck with conventional approach. _____ In another news, I just picked up 12 bags for a 30sqm job. I’d share pictures later. 1 Like |

#supafix update You do not need cement mortar or o level I never surface when using Supafix. You can use the adhesive to level out uneven surface a day before installing your tiles. We also tried this during the demonstration. _______ I forgot to take picture of that part.
