I am preparing to roof my duplex and am concerned about parapet or no parapet. What type of parapet and the cost etc.
But discovering this thread has enlightened me and widen my choice.
Do you have your agent or installer in Kano or have you done any polystyrene parapet job here?
How possible is it to installed this polystyrene parapet for me in Kano? I would have send my building plan but for little modifications on the upper floor due to an afterthought use of counter lever(?) to give the roof dented edges for aesthetics.
I can arrange to have the measurement taken for me to have the total cost of installation.

Sir,
Thanks for getting across to us. we have not done any job in kano but we can send an installer from abuja to kano for the installation.
we will appreciate if you can send us the total Linear meter of the upper floor taking into consideration the roof eaves and offcuts.
our email address is frugesarenaltd@gmail.com

Everfrank:


Thanks man. I'll get back to you soon.
My other concerns are:
1. How tight and solid is the grief of this material to the building? Can it withstand strong winds?

Yes it can withstand winds, that is why it is good to cast along with the roof beam.

2:. How long can polystyrene parapet stand alone before roofing. Must the building be roofed soon after its installation?
it all depends on installation method, but it doesn't decompose even when exposed to the external weather

3. Apart from parapet, slabs and ceiling on what other parts of a building can the material be used?

it can also be used for wall bands and window sills.

Pls send estimate for 345m for 2 options. That's for 300 x 300 and 350 x350 fascia

saydfact:
345m is a mini-stadium - that's BIG
