gbadexy: This is a very detailed write up. More grease to your elbow boss. I'm better informed now and I would seek to get this done. Knowing all these advantages, ( I would want to assume materials are also cheaper...) why don't people go for this option cement screeding? One last question, who does cement screeding? POP guys or masons? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 10:10pm On Dec 01, 2017 |
alstacs:pop cement is more expensive that portland cement. The guys doing pop work and screeding do cement screeding also. pop cement sets under 10 minutes and the finish coat can be applied immediately. contractors and screeders like it so they can finish on time and go to another site. Although it wastes materials because they have to finish the mixed plaster before it sets and once it starts setting, the rest would be useless. looking at the bigger picture, the cement screeding takes the same time as the pop plaster. large areas could be covered on the first day and the finish coat could be applied the following day. 1 Like |

alstacs: Answers: 1. Yes it's a process after regular plastering... 2. It makes the wall real smooth & levelled and sealed cracks on wall, and when done well will feel glossy like glass when touched, also helps using less paints. Same like the POP screeding but using pure cement and some other bonding chemicals. Hajji M. 1 Like |

gbadexy: Thank you for the narration, Oga mi. Very well said. You have personally seen my project before and after screeding... (since you are one of those "keeping eyes" on the project for me. ) and I am sure you can testify that the house was very well plastered but more better after the screeding. Note: Screeding is not important or a requirement and you don't have to do it... but personally, it makes my wall looked and feel fine. Hajji M. 1 Like |

alstacs: Cheaper than POP screeding... why do you think they call me "kobo-kobo" man? Why people don't use it generally.... I don't know. POP guys does the screeding job.... not Bricklayers (Mason) That is little that I know... the professionals should chime in.. Hajji M. 2 Likes |

mufutau55: Sir! From my own Experience, I think The reason why People don't use it is because its harder to screed Smoothly than Pop Screed. Also Harder to sand Paper, Its Harder when dry. But @gbadexy is right, its way Better. It doesn't Scratch off Easily like POP Screed. If the Screeders can Sand paper and while screeding, and mix properly with POp Paint, then You are surely good to go! 2 Likes |

mufutau55:my able chairman! The wall was well plastered and smooth but the screeding made it much more smoother. like you rightly said sir, screeding is not a requirement, especially if the person intends to use emulsion or even matte emulsion so far the wall is well plastered. But all paints look better on a screeded wall 1 Like |

twinskenny: Even with surface wiring 100k can't be enough unless the electrician use 1.5mm CHINA flat cable for socket and lighting. There are other materials that goes with flat cable. junction box, clip, distribution, lampholder, distribution etc.... |

mufutau55: Very well explained. gbadexy: Very clear. A picture of wall screeding in progress. I have an observation, cement brands has something to add to screeding. If you are using Dangote cement to screed, your work will tend to be of a lighter shade of grey when completed, but if you are using Unicem, Bua or Ibeto, the work looks a darker shade of grey. 2 Likes

spyder880:I'm loving the smoothness of that wall already! lighter shade of grey would present a better background for paint than darker shades. |

spyder880:Yeah... Not even only in screeding, BUA cement always brings out darker outcome than dangote in block making & concrete works...Reason why some people believe it to be of a better quality than dangote. 1 Like |

If a property owner can afford to screed, it's a sin not to. The building itself looks happy . minor imperfections are covered up to give a smooth finish that is a pleasure to look at. 4 Likes |

Still talking screeding, some people complain to me that screeded portions of a wall can peel off when left unpainted for long period of time. I think this is as a result of rain water splashing on the particular section of the wall. I have noticed that the sections peel occur are more open and suffer some direct rain impact and splashes from other roofs. Can this be as a result of the type of bonding gum used or light application, or even poor workmanship? Gbadexy, what do you think?

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rubbiish(m): 1:15pm On Dec 02, 2017 |
Dremca:Why do u say so sir? I think this issue is still open to debate. It has not really been ascertained which is best, some may say A cement is good for concrete works, B cement for block work & so on....But no outweighing reason so far why one should be the best. I will say dangote is widely accepted & used because of its availability, not necessarily because it is the best. 3 Likes |

spyder880: I think it is a function of the bonding materials ( adhesive glue). Since this glue looses its binding property under the influence of constant water 2 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 1:27pm On Dec 02, 2017 |
spyder880:screeding is not generally meant to be left unpainted. If left unpainted, weathering process makes it weak and extra porous thereby consuming more paint. I think the binder used in this particular picture isn't sufficient though. If sufficient binder was used, the screeding would be no different from plaster paints like textcoat and flexcoat. The plaster also should be a bit wet to be able to stick and bond properly to the wall during application. If sufficient binder was used, it would be able to withstand slight movements due to better flexibility and won't crack or peel easily. 1 Like |
