Building Materials

Not sure whether this is the right place but I need advice on building materials. I am interested in sliding doors and suspended ceilings. Any advice on both types of products would be helpful.

Are you planning to start selling them, installing or you want to use them for your house?
If you are thinking of business, I think you are in a good one, for sliding doors, i guess you are talking about aluminium stuff, you need to learn how to install them from tradesmen outside, and some combines it with roof installations, as a big guy you can actually go fully into various aluminium products. Some banks cashier cubicles are made of aluminium so there is no shortage of jobs. Suspended ceilling? I am beginning to feel you must have been seeing a lot of construction sites using it, which shows there is a big market also. I think is faster to learn how to install suspended ceillings and make money quickly.
And if you are thinking of just selling, you will still do well but you have to do a lot of footwork, go to ongoing sites, introduce your products.

A good website is  www.askthebuilder.com

Thanks thirdeye. I read your article and very well written. It is through artisans that I am interested in the building materials market. However, the suspended ceiling market is too confusing and I have to wade through many measures trying to figure out that POP ceiling means plater of paris ceiling, I mean who would have taught pop can also be used for ceilings. However, are you aware of what they call DANO suspended ceiling? I have no idea. I am trying to purchase it but due to logistics, it is quite hard. ( I am currently away from Nigeria).

If you know have further advice on the market feel free to mention it.
