Hi Skimanski, A few questions. What kind of nails do you use for the skirting boards? Do you use a Pneumatic Nailer to get the nails in? Do you install wood flooring? Do you install false walls with plaster boards/Polysterene? Do you take on projects from a different Architect? Do you install wooden stairs like this ?

nateevs: I won't suggest such in a tropical environment like Nigeria where termites are in abundance |

tivta: I don't understand. Are there not other wood features in our homes already? Bed frames, Kitchen Cabinet, Living Room furniture etc? Why have termites not decimated these already? 4 Likes |

nateevs:There are but trust me, all wooden furniture eventually get attacked, besides something as important as stairs should be permanent. I don't know how its done abroad but I know it is not conducive here. |

tivta:That's quite speculative, Fixtures like the attached are made from "well treated" wood, and believe me when i tell you, they stay that way for a long time. Besides, there are termites in North America and Europe too. 2 Likes

I think those stairs might have a steel frame or concrete core neatly cladded or finished with wood. @skimanski , If the stairs are assumed to be solely wood, is that length of cantilever or protrusion structurally possible from a 9inch wall?considering the absence of any other support structure |

skimanski: Can you kindly explain why it cannot be all wood? I will need it installed that exact way and will like to know why there needs to be any form of concrete at all. |

nateevs: as you can see the Stairs is protruding out of the wall without support, means for it to carry a reasonable weight, the part that goes inside the wall by be firm enough, and wood is not firm enough to hold that support. Trust me when i tell you that the stairs in that pics is not all wood. there are some form of reinforcement internally. may be STeel rods or steel beams. 2 Likes |
