Good morning Thread, it’s such an amazing time getting to learn a lot on this platform, this is to me more like a request to help in educating us about building roofs for the future of energy

Having been in the trenches of energy production from the sun, and by consistent study on the types of roof people use, I have actually observed they didn’t build with sun energy in mind, because of the slope, slants, geo-coordinates facing, and we should know well that the nearest future of energy generation for buildings is a sole or personal power generation, and the more we are critical about building to get the best energy from the sun the better and cheaper for every building or home, this is why most people spend a lot more than their friends, just because of no future mindedness of their roof as against generation of power from the sun.

I intended to help educate us on how to make the best out of roof styles and choices, before completing our buildings. This is really key, because generating power from the sun requires space, and most buildings don’t have ground space enough to cater for that, all they have is their roof, so why not take this as critical

Can I go ahead with this for the next few days, with detailed information and instructions before roofing buildings to make the best efficient use of it

Please go ahead, we are taking notes.

The shops were built on the road I drive daily.

How many of those civil unrest have we had in Nigeria in the past one decade?

I’ve not at any point here proposed an all glass shop. Having a large window on shops is almost the same as having a curtain wall in a duplex. You need to do all you can to protect yourself.

Until recently, we’ve all believed we need prison walls to secure us in Nigeria but today most people are doing dwarf and see-through fences.

In Nigeria, we know and understand that there’s always a problem for every solution.

What happened to having the glass properly secured with a roller shutter?
_______

Pic 1 - Glass Window at NextHome H52, 2014
Pic 2 - Glass Display Wall at Ikota Shopping Plaza, Lagos. There are several shops in this plaza but no heavily reinforced iron gates.
Pic 3 - Inside NextHome H52. Using glass to create volume
Pic 4 - NextHome20 Modern Studio - Design Inspiration. I don buy glass and I no fit return am grin grin

@N3XT...
I EXPECT YOU TO BE FIRM IN YOUR WORDS...

You initially recommended shops to be build with only glass without burglary... now you changing when definite examples are given here...

Now you have entered glass display again reinforce with iron gate... why is it reinforced with iron gate...

Advance baba lati... be firm in your words...

HOW WILL YOU ENCOURAGE A NIGERIAN BUILD THIS KIND OF BUILDING IN IKORODU... grin AND YOU WANT HIM TO SLEEP WITH HIS TWO EYES CLOSED.. HABA BRO NEXT...

Show me where I said a glass shop will be built sir. Just share the screenshot.

I don’t know why you chose to pick on me for no reason.

Is this how professionals work? Or you have issues with comprehension sir? grin grin

That’s how you’re calling mantrap security doors used in banks hammerglass. I just decided to move on because it clearly show you have no idea what hammerglass is and what its made of and you chose not to research before coming online to prove what’s not.

I’m surprised you didn’t write MNSE now grin

The glass building you’re seeing up there is ongoing in Sagamu not even Ikorodu and it’ll be built and nothing is gonna happen to it.

In another news, advanced baba lati just got another minimalist building certified by Lagos state. Guess what, there’s a wall-to-Wall 6m multi-fold glass door in the build.

Good morning Ne3t. If anyone recommended glass house with no burglary and you go along, I will blame you. A while back you posted/commented on Peter Okoye house which is a lot of glass with no burglary. I told myself then that many of us cannot afford the type of security he can afford to surround himself for protection.
We all love good things but we have to be cognizant of our environment

There are many things we cannot share online but I have a building that does not have a single burglary in the ghetto part of Nigeria and it has been in existence for almost 10 years.

It’s not burglar proofs that protect us. Just be good to the people around you!

Good morning all. This is a shout out to Adedward aluminum. He did a very good job despite the challenges he faced while doing my project. He lost his mother. May her gentle soul rest in peace. I know she is gentle because she raise a gentle and hard working man. He did not use my money to bury his mother and then start giving excuses as some would have done. He did not do a shoddy job and old wife tale as some would have done.
My mum visited the site and she prayed and prayed for the classy job that was done. My friend visited the site and was impressed. His performance on the windows now encourage me to engage him for the bathroom doors. I can attest to the quality of job he did for me and recommends him to those in need of his professional service.
I have given positive feedback to Imran roofing and Adedward Aluminum. If I give you work and you did not perform I will come here and shout.
Thanks all

Agreed. can i contact you?

OBelz:
Some business lessons I learnt from building a house:

-Assemble the right team.

-Fire faster than you hire. If he doesn't fit in, let him go immediately. A trial is enough.

-Roll up your sleeves and enter the market. Know the prices or better still, buy the materials yourself.

-Be there. Monitor it yourself. It is difficult for people to reproduce exactly your idea or thoughts if you are not there to direct and supervise.

-Use the best quality in the market.

-Don't drag a bad work. Kill it at the early stages. If it is not good, stop it immediately.

Yes but that doesn’t mean Nigeria isn’t ready for it.

We need protection but we need to always remember that we are building 250 naira cement-sand blocks that can be opened with cheap demolition grouts (chemicals) out there.

Security starts with our designs.

@Next... WHY ARE YOU DISGRACING YOURSELF..

Mantrap Security Door is a typical Name for a type of door made up of many materials like CFRP (Carbon fibre reinforced Polymer as the frame and Hammerglass as the transparent solid).

Hammerglass , tappered glass, laminated tappered glass.. are types of glasses...
Bros.. check your B.P.

I am not one of those clients... Professional will always tell you the truth... I can educate you fully on ENGINEERING MATERIALS..

It’s well! I really can’t help you anymore on this. You’re indeed a very good listener. Comprehension is just a major problem even when there are pictures and diagram to aid you, you still miss it.

I’m sure it’s the floor-ceiling part that confused you.

You win! Congratulation to you sir.
