Vincent I can't believe a young man in this 21st century could be so ignorant. Pls no-one uses that old ceiling board anymore. U either do pop ceiling, or the long one that u mentioned which is actually called Pvc, or u do what we call suspended ceiling. On no condition should u try using asbestos ceiling which is d normal one u earlier referred to.that's old school. For the parlour use pop. But make sure the roof isn't leaking. For the rooms use pvc. For the kitchen use asbestos which is d one u are use to. The quality of the various products vary so please ensure u buy the best. Good luck


the young man said he wants to know which one is more durable....NOT fashionable. that same oldschool u made mention of is much more durable than the inflamable PVC. for me, properly laid asbestos ceilling is better than pvc.

Is POP suitable for bungalow?
yes now
Re: I Need Help On The Type Of Ceiling Board To Use by jaytime(m): 8:35am On Aug 25, 2016
Everything depends on your budget and taste. If need ceiling with posh designs and class, go for POP. If you need ceiling with manageable cost, use PVC. But if you need ceiling with the lowest cost, go for the traditional (old school) asbestos ceiling.

You are so right about pvc and sound.

I once slept over in a house with pvc ceiling and then it started to rain. Omg!!! I thought it was a major major rainstorm with the roof about to crash.

I opened the window expecting to see torrential rainfall with everywhere flooded. Lo and behold, it was mere drops/tickles of rain. I couldn't sleep the entire night because of the sound from the pvc ceiling.

I know abestos is dangerous but if it was down to cost, I will go with "undisturbed" abestos anyday anytime over pvc ceiling.
why is it dangerous?(abestos)

Abestos has been linked (confirmed) to several respiratory issues and cancer.

Those at risk the most are people involved in the production of abestos.

Abestos is best left "undisturbed" as inhaling it's particles is deadly.

I'm in the same dilemma presently. I personally love to use POP but can POP be used with a low roof?

Good day all.

I need your advice on the type of ceiling board or sheet to use. I am currently on a building project(a small bungalow).

I know there are basically two types of ceiling sheet. The first one is like plastic, usually long and has different colours(I don't know the name) and the other is the conventional ceiling board which is like wood.

I need to know which one is more durable and better.

Thanks

Anyway was once confused like you.

First house, i used the conventional wooden board. It requires painting at last and that is more cost. At that time, the plastic board was still new in town and not many designs.

Now, i dont bother looking the way of the wooden boards. Plastic boards are the game.

The conventional asbestos ceiling is cheaper than PVC, while POP is the costliest of the three categories. It all depends on your budget. Recently, I did a 4-bedroom flat in my village, the POP that would have cost me N480,000, eventually cost N510,000 because of inflation rate in the country. The POP Specialists charge the fees by square metre. Like in my case, the agreement was N2,500 per square metre but I ended with N3,500 before the completion of the work. If you are the one that will buy the materials, then you can negotiate N700 per square metre as labour. Best of luck!!

Hmmmmmm, prices of goods and services have skyrocketed.

what we refer to asbestos in Nigeria is actually fibre cement boards which was introduced to replace asbestos and are harmless, nigerite stopped production of asbestos a long time ago.

The materials are very easy to buy. It has two components, viz: the POP cement and the POP sponge. The sponge are the same, but the cement varies in quality and prices. The best quality is called "Molda 3" and the price is around N2,400 or N2,500 depending on your bargaining ability. You may even get it lesser than the quoted prices. There are Molda 1 & 2, which are inferior in quality to Molda 3. The cheapest of the three is Molda 1. Insist that you want Molda 3, because they will try to swindle you by saying it is not the market or the quantity they got will not be enough or you can only get it in Lagos. All their tricks are aimed at getting more profits from the work at your expense. Also, ensure that you supervised the materials, because they can bring entirely different ones and hide the bags or replaced them with bags from another site. Even though it is cheaper to buy materials, but they can make you to spend more money by deliberate wastage. For instance, instead of molding more boards from a bag, they will mold less than required just to make you regret buying the materials.

Use POP or the wood ceiling board. They are durable. Please avoid asbestos at all cost. Though it's the cheapest, it is also carcinogenic ie it can cause cancer
