aonag: Oh Bob, forget PVC. Whether from China o or Nigeria or even planet Jupiter sef; the fact still remains: PVC is a fire hazard in homes. Aesthetics over health and safety is not on. I did POP during the heat of exchange rate for N3,800 per sqm in Delta all inclusive. If you can go into the trouble of importing from China for domestic use, you can as well settle for home grown. All you need do is look for a 'strong hand' and project manage him to your concept. 1 Like

aonag:let be clear here, are you installing POP by it’s self or mixing it with that plastic pvc ceiling. Little advise when you’re negotiate for the POP, make sure they tell you the thickness. I’ll recommend 12-16 mm thickness is better, this may depends on your budget. 1 Like |

Hello house, Pls I just need your suggestion as I am a novice in building construction. I have just two questions? 1. For a floor/ wall area of 1200SqM how many tiles would be needed to cover. 60x60 2. How many bags of cement for laying it. Tiler suggesting 200 bags! Which u feel is much. Any idea house would be much appreciated. Thank you. |

dejavus: A good POP wo(man) should be able to create or replicate any reasonable concept. Just show them pictures of your concept and then ask if they could create it. That's what I did. Don't go for an outlandish, convoluted design though and then complain when things go spectacularly wrong. Simple does it. POP design is like taking your cloth to a tailor, a good tailor will give you a good cut. 2 Likes |

Thanks chief Kenny. Mr nicemuyoo, the total area needed to be tiled is 1200sqm means you are using 1200sqm of tiles . But to get accurate number of 60x60 size needed,you need to give us the total area this 60x60 will cover then I will tell you the total pieces/carton needed for the said area. Because all the 1200sqm area is covered for both floor and wall , so you need to seprate where 60x60 will cover then we help you to calculate the pieces of tiles needed for 60x60 area. About cement the thickness of your floor and wall will determine the quantity needed Plus your tiler system of laying the tiles. 150-180 is still in range |

kopell: Thickness alone doesn't guarantee a strong precast POP board sir. Installers can increase the volume of water, then reduce the quantity of POP cement to achieve your desired thickness. Vibrations or introducing ceiling speakers to your POP, then cracks starts springing up. 2 Likes 1 Share |
