Frequently Asked Question.[center][/center]

1) what is the cost effectiveness of using Expanded Polystyrene material compared to concrete for users who are not building beyond a floor and are building on a dry land

Our Wire Mesh EPS panels come in modules of 1.2m and if you provide us with a drawing of your building we will do an Abacus (wall panel breakdown) and cut out all the wall panels including window and door openings needed to erect the building. These wall panels can be assembled in a day. Imagine all the walls of your building up in a day!! After panel assembly and M&E works, the walls are then sprayed and plastered. This building system allows for rapid assembly with little or no need for lifting equipment, less construction time and lower foundation costs compared to traditional systems because the material is so light. No skilled labour is required. If you are building a bungalow on 'dry land' as you say then you do not need anything more that a german floor slab or strip foundation

Do you also install?

we can supply and install the Material for you as well.

Good day,

I would like to enquire about the cost per metre of installing this polystyrene parapet. the dimension of my project is ca.(10 by 20) metres.

I also sent you a mail if you dont wanna drop the price here.


Advise: I think it will be better for you and for future clients if you drop an a sample cost evaluation here on nairaland..

Thanks

With the current increasing cost in building a house in Nigeria, and with the Nigeria Culture/Mentality
“I must have my own House” a lot of Nigerians have been looking for various building material options which are relatively cheaper and perform the same function as the conventional ones.

One of such material options which I will be focusing on this thread is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), This material is strong, durable, light weight, water resistance with excellent thermal insulation which is very popular in Environmentally “Green” Homes.

Expanded Polystyrene is an affordable and incredibly sustainable choice in the construction circle due to versatility and performance.

It can be used in construction as a structural base infill for example in floor Slab, Roads, Bridges Railway infrastructure, or as a structural element of its own, Roof Eaves, wall (partition), Décor Materials.

Structural test carried on EPS has showing that after used in construction for 30 years still remain strong as when first used.

I will be focusing on Polystyrene Roof Cornices (Parapet) in the next few days

If you are in a dilemma on the cost of constructing Roof Parapet for your building, or your building is located on a loose soil, I will advise you to go for Polystyrene roof parapet due to the following reasons.

It is Light in weight
It is cheaper compared to concrete (that is it eliminates the cost of wood form work both material and labour, less reinforcement)
It is faster and easy to install.
It is Neater than most parapet as it has been formed using a machine.

Let us look at how Polystyrene Parapet is installed

The proper way of installing Polystyrene is first to install a 2 x 2 softwood around the building area where the parapet will seat to take levels and also to make sure it is set on a straight line. In order to reduce cost you can make use of rope line to take reference between the two corners of the side of a building and when you are sure it is straight, then nail at interval of 600mm (2 feets) and place the parapets on it.

The Second stage is fastening of the Roof parapet to the open roof beam reinforcement ( less I forget you can either leave part of the roof beam reinforcement say 1” open when you are doing the roof beam casting or cast the roof beam after the Roof parapet has been fastening to the roof reinforcement with the aid of binding wire and nails).

The next stage is that a light casting of saying 1½” is done on the roof beam to cover all open reinforcement.

The Last stage is to screed the joints of the Roofing parapet to have a uniform and smooth surface.

Next time we will be looking at the cost of Polystyrene parapet as against in situ Parapet.

In the house, you can tell us about your experience using polystyrene as a building material either as roof parapet, or fill in for concrete, etc.

Advantages of POLYSLAB versus Solid Floor Slab & Waffle Floor Slab Construction

1. The Polyslab is lightweight therefore reduced labour costs in handling and significant cost savings in both substructure & superstructure.
2. Reduced construction time as materials are pre cut to structural engineer's specifications at the factory
3.Excellent sound and thermal insulating properties
4. Fast & Easy to Install.
​5. Used to form either a 1-way or 2-way ribbed floor slab with various dimensions, depths, rib spacing and width

Kindly send a mail to frugesarenaltd@gmail.com so that I can forward all necessary information to you.
Thanks

I'll mail you on this because I need more info and how we can partner.

I live in Abuja.

can I have your direct No

am super interested in this material, am based in Kano, i will like to know where to purchase ds materials and how to use them, I will be pleased if info is sent to my mail jbechioda@gmail.com, regards

Do you Know that polystyrene are also used for window sills, Mid Bands and Internal cornices for you. Building on a swampy area shouldn't deter you from adding aesthetics to your building even when it is not considered during the foundation stage as polystyrene is a dead weight on the building. check out the various mid bands , window sill and internal cornices available.

How can most people know?

These pictures are too tiny for people to see.
Cant you expand them and paste the Big pictures?
You could also `increase interest by attaching Price/meter to each one.

I think if people get enough information about this product, they may be very interested in using it.

Thanks sir for the comment, we would work on them, we had to reduce some of the pictures pixel because of the kb allowed to upload on the site.

This system can be used autonomously in structural load-bearing applications or it can be integrated into traditional post-beam construction. It employs versatile, light weight panels that can be cut and shaped to create any architectural feature. The panels consist of a corrugated Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) core surrounded by an electro-welded galvanized steel mesh. After the panels have been assembled, concrete is applied in layers by means of high velocity spray guns.

what is the effective of Sun and Rain on the parapet after installation but not covered with roofing for a long period of time, and the Life span of the product.

The integrity of the polystyrene remains the same as our material is non-biodegradable and will not erode, expand or shrink over time. However we do recommend that roofing is done as early as possible as EPS is still a fragile material which if left exposed could get damaged. Our External Cornices (Parapet) are actually our bestsellers and have proved to be extremely popular in and outside of the state. This is because our product is not only cheaper (cost effective, no formwork,casting and curing of concrete) than the conventional concrete cornice; but it is also lightweight, extremely easy to install and flexible in terms of profile design ( any shape/design is achievable)
