Who has an idea what kind of board was used for this, definitely not mdf or the other F's.

HDF high gloss board or Acrylic! ✓
Expensive tho!

FEGEITOK:
Here is my main reason for using MDF.

Indicated with the arrow.

I get you! Usually Look sleek on one side (like gloss)

FEGEITOK:
Plywood? Particle board? Which one? Let me learn from you please?

it's Particle board

Rany4all:
Interesting...I guess it's made of "iron wood", the kind of wood used in making boats, canoes and the likes?

Yeah! A typical hard wood.

Frequent exposure to water can cause the wood to rot within a relatively short time, however if your bath area is screened off properly, like within a shower cubicle for instance, then it can be used.

The door may also be sprayed with some sort of plastic paint to make it more resistant to water, hence prolonging its life span.

If your bath area isn't screened, you may opt for more water resistant options like aluminum or PVC (plastic) doors.

You're on point.

But there are actually wooden doors that can last more years.

(Forgive the image quality!) Below is a pic of a door that has lasted over 18 years & still counting.
Bath area ain't even screened!

Good afternoon my oga’s in the house.

Kindly help vet this quotation for external screeding (duplex) and internal and external paint work. Thank you for always!

Stories from the trenches.

I bought a ton of MDF to do woodwork.

Now the air in the office stings the eyes and the nose so I researched why this is happening.

It's the adhesive! Our markets are full of the cheap chinese adhesive!

Don't go cheap on adhesives, it's a matter of life and health.

This article explains why.

My workers even got sick, so sick that they had to stop work and vomited for hours until they were provided medical attention.

I now have no choice but to install extractor fans to ensure the air in the office is safe for humans

I can't use it for myself, I don't even recommend it to my clients. MDF is a No No for me.


There is another board lower to MDF (it shouldn't be considered at all)

Twostep:
Greetings house, please are these kind of doors ok for internal doors or are there any disadvantages therein?

Yes Sir.

Mystical888:
Please those HDF doors, are they ready made or tailor made to fit?

Hello guys, I’m currently working on a personal project. (3 bedroom duplex). I’m ijebu, Ogun state. I gave a senior colleague at my former work place my Design’s to help me process approval and one way or the other he kept promising postponing things. Due to rapid increase in cost of materials, I started the project without approval done yet. Now I have gotten to decking stage and still nothing with the approval. so I had to pause to make sure the approval is done before I continue, even though I would have to pay fine now that I’ve started. The process is going fine with the approval and I hope to continue the project next month. You can see the plan and level where the project is at. I would have brought this up here earlier but I was only searching for some solutions when I got to know about naira land and this thread seems perfect as I can easily get recommendations for professionals to use at every part of the construction. Any ideas and critics are welcomed as no one knows it all. I would love to see your views. Also I would like reviews on the roof design I intend using. I have several questions which I would ask accordingly as the project moves forward.

I hope you get your approval sorted completely.

Godspeed on your project Sir.

FEGEITOK:
My personal experience, I eliminated plaster sand when plastering internal walls.

My walls were very coarse to the touch and to sight, but my paints adhered like forever. There were no patches and no peels to date, and if memory serves me right, I did this in 2017 so this is 2022, some 5 years later this position is true. I painted it like that initially and felt like who cares, after all I overcame the patches and peels internally, in a house that has been fighting that for several years until I made that decision.

I considered it a badge of honor that a non-engineer achieved what the entire building industry seemed unable or unwilling to tackle.

That said, if you want a smooth wall, then do screeding afterwards. Same effect achieved, but now you have walls that water can't do damage internally.

You may spend more but you will have peace of mind.

Now I need to experiment by using the same mix to my external walls, observe and report.

I also did not economize on cement for plastering when doing the mortar mix, the formula is somewhere on this forum.

I am posting an article to this link to help homeowners and builder realize that when you build, if you want the house to last, you must do everything in your power to slow down water.

This is science and physics at work. You need to understand how things work first before you can change the effect on your build.

https://www.nairaland.com/7351815/home-remodeling-diy-fight-against

One more thing, I have read that capillary action is so powerful that it can raise water by up to 1m up your walls, so this mix does not have to be for the entire wall, it needs to be at least 1.5m and you are safe.

I did that for half the distance between the ground and the ceiling or about 153cm/ 5ft. I left the rest of the plaster from that point to the ceiling as is.

Am loving this✓

The point is to permanently eradicate water from damaging your walls.

Well done✓

KolaShangOne:
Just like the way water damaged the sheetrock in the video.. we also had water damaging the plasterboard here..

We have tried a solution and within the next 2 weeks, I'll be sure if it works or not.

Boss, Please Did you try vapour barrier or what other solution did you try.....

FEGEITOK:
So I am remodeling an old house, and as I always do, I research the issue very deeply.

Found this, hope it helps someone given the hues and cries about damp wall, mold etc due to bad building practices locally.

Thanks for this video✓

That one is not good?

it's more expensive & not as strong as Pop.

Pop (Plaster of Paris) is better.
