Dominionng: This is very valid! But will I use both material for the same job? No! I use those for interior jobs only. Here’s a product that fit perfectly the description of the China product above that’s sold in the US and Canada and the manufacturer were specific about its application (indoor) https://www.certainteed.com/drywall/products/silentfx-quickcut-drywall/ CertainTeed Regular Gypsum Board accepts most types of paints, texture and wall covering materials. The surface shall be primed and sealed with a full-bodied latex primer before applying a final decorative material. This will equalize the suction between the joint compounds and the paper surface. For best painting results, all surfaces, including joint compound, should be clean, dust-free and not glossy. If glossy paints are used, a thin skim coat of compound over the entire surface, Level 5 finish, is recommended to reduce highlighting or joint photographing. This method is also recommended for areas of critical sidelighting of natural or artificial light sources. A sealer application under wallpaper or other wall covering is also recommended so the board surface will not be damaged if the covering is subsequently removed during redecorating. Joint treatment must be thoroughly dry before proceeding with primer-sealer application and final decoration. For a complete mold resistant system, use with M2Tech finishing products where available. https://www.certainteed.com/products/m2tech-90-moisture-and-mold-resistant-setting-compound-11kg-bag/

Drywall, Plasterboard or Suspended Ceilings? Pls do you due diligence. I schooled around Jibowu and I can tell for over 2 decades plasterboards are being imported into the area (especially those tagged knock-offs) People use them. They don’t throw them away. Happy New Week! 1 Like |

Nero2424:Nigerians mostly have go with the crowd mentality instead of being creative.... installing parapet seem sensible since our wood treatment techniques and chemical are substandard else your boards will collapse within 5 years. Western houses are very very expensive but simple, beautiful and elegant, and only where the dishwashing sink and cooking areas are usually tiled, the rest is just extra decor. 1 Like |

You can get hardwood doors for the bedrooms since you want durability. I'd advise you use that over MDF. Toilet doors are different & I would recommend maybe glass door designs. For average cost you can go for chinese hdf designs for the bedrooms. They are cheaper than the ones from turkey & co. You can contact me for your doors.

n3xt: n3xt: Thanks man. Though we prefer to use aluminum metal ceiling or composite ceiling tiles for our corporate clients we recommend plaster board for our cost sensitive clients. We consider safety, utility, acoustics and aesthetics. Pictures 1&2 are plaster board ceiling from way back in 2011, picture 3 is perforated metal ceiling tiles. While picture 4 is pop cast ceiling from a property we acquired for a client. The holes were from a little leak in the roof some installations. We are stripping off the entire ceiling and replacing it with metal tiles. The property is being renovated to a commercial property. https://www.nairaland.com/1082585/2020-building-construction-office-fitout 2 Likes 1 Share

Famz We all know for proper drainage, a surface has to be slopped to an angle. My other question is, can't water flow on a flat surface (if the water is continuous and concentrated, (Like heavy rainfall), wouldn't it flow regardless of the surface angle?) |
