spyder880: The handrails arrive at the site, plus Togolese boys dressing the window frames .

This black color looks better than the former cream color. Is this hand rail for the staircase alone or will it also be used for the balconies?

Oga Spyder, how tall/high is the handrails, especially for the verandahs? Use feet/inches please, so I can be in sync. Thanks.

Are you using special metal (enamel) paint or the normal oil paint for these rails?

We are using the oil paint, otherwise called gloss paints.

That may be what we call primer paints here, it's used to coat a surface before the real color will be painted?
Re: How We Built The "Luxury Block Of Flats" In Enugu by Empiree: 3:24pm On Aug 02, 2014
I dont think so. There is primer in US actually. It's painted on newly built wall (Sheet Rock) before paint. Semi gloss is a shining kind of paint like water resistance type. Maybe you can do research for the name in 9ja. Im looking forward to that actually. Thanks to Hajji for bringing this up

NO. I know the primer you are talking about.. This is also a gloss paint but no too glossy, so it's called "semi-gloss".
Thank you sir.

mufutau55: Uncle Gbadexy, I don't know if I have asked you this question before..
Here (USA) we have a paint type called semi-gloss, what is the equivalent of that in Nigeria..
It's a gloss paint but not too glossy as in Gloss paint.. Thank you.

Hajji M.

Gbadexy: It's (Semi-Gloss paint) called Silk or Satin emulsion paint.
Actually, silk and satin are used interchange -ably but they are slightly different.
Both are semi gloss and cleanable but satin has slightly higher sheen than silk.
It determined by a pigment volume content. The satin has slightly lower than silk so has higher sheen.

Oga Spyder and Empiree... Above is the answer to the "Semi-Gloss" Paint thing from Gbadexy.. Thank you.

spyder880: Railings

Lovely railings if you aske me. This is from a skilled worker. @Spyder what level of supervision do you provide while they work or is it that over time you have selected the ones you trust and as such do not need to supervise or worry about their final works?

Again, the gaps between staircase hand rails, what do you plan to do with it?
