Yes but client will not envisage other aesthetics of lighting and pop.

But 2-3 depends on the overall headroom.

That’s our job though. But admittedly it took me a few builds before I got it also.

Godisgreatest1:


Thank you Sir. Please I read somewhere that if it is 2 layers the POP will be too low and chandeliers may be too low as close to the head as well. The person was advised not to use POP with complex designs so that he can properly install wall lights. It was a 4 bedroom bungalow on this platform 2 or 3 years ago. That's why I ask.

All those points are perfectly correct. It just looks and feels better besides it’s cooler. Heat/hot air rises.

I co-ask.

Thanks.

My Engineers and contractors, please what are your experiences with Nigerian tiles? We saw some really nice wooden tiles made by Nigerian companies. Our intention was to get Spanish and Chinese tiles but we are not buoyant enough to buy the ones that can cover the whole area. Honestly, things are expensive no

The Nigerian porcelain wooden tiles looked good and cheaper. Please share your experiences if you have used any of the Nigerian made tiles and their durability.

Thanks.

The “boko haram” tiles that I used in the living areas are okay so far. I’m completely disappointed in the ones in the bathrooms.

I’ll find savings in another way so I can use imported tiles in at least pertinent areas.

Best Practices for Building Roof for Solar in Nigeria

In the world today we have seen a rise in the use of solar energy due to its reduction on cost of purchasing energy, and a cleaner self owned power production for most a duration of 25 – 30 years of the solar panel 100 to 80 percent drop in power production, meaning if you are in your 30’s now and you decide to go solar, you will use this system till you get to your 50’s and at that time for a good solar panel choice you can be sure it would have only reduced efficiency by at most 20%, that is amazing.

IN CONTINUATION FROM THE PREVIOUS POST

Building Roof for Solar (beware of Shades)

Following the previous post on Best Practices for Building Roof for Solar in Nigeria, which we discussed extensively on “Orientation”, another is the effect of shade, please take your time to follow closely.

The solar array which is the group of solar panels are always expected to be unshaded on all the part of the system. The power is generated when there is an incident amount of light on cells of the solar panels, and this light is converted by the cells into an electrical current ( Direct current(dc) ) then to the solar charge controller which in turn charges the battery or is sent to power the electrical appliances.

In layman terms I will do well to explain why shading can paralyze or reduce the efficiency of the whole system to 20% or lower; imagine in a tug of war sport, lets say the guys on the left are solar panels and on or two of them fell (shaded), you’ll observe that the they wont be able to pull as much again and efficiency would really fall and more energy is lost.

Ensure there are no shadings casted on your roof either by another building or trees blocking the incidence of sunlight on your roof and if that is inevitable you may need to find another location, to build a construction in order to get the best from sun light. please you can learn more on orientation.

In the subsequent post you will get to know about other considerations before building your roof such as Pitch, Material, Age, Size of solar roof.

According to the seller it's near indestructible

I'll look for old pictures to get the brand name.

Hmmm. This is deep. We actually want to use Nigerian tiles in the living areas and Spanish for the bathrooms because of water. I don't trust Nigerian tiles to hold against water.

For those that work for their money:

The atrocities of N3xt / brabus / kobocity / brabusng would fill a book, there is so much material in this section under different usernames, it’s not even funny.

For those that want to wait till we have a brand new 2021 victim testimony, please give him money to build for you so that you can be his testimony. It’s a brand new decade, maybe he has changed even if his habit of deflecting and passing the buck is still very much evident. More than 10 customers with complaints yet he’s an innocent man, they are the ones with something wrong with them.

Here’s a tip - a person who broke shames his clients, the people who make it possible for him to earn a living; that person is a crook. If you don’t actually work for money, you can’t help disrespecting those that do. It is typical behaviour with fraudsters.

Like I already said, the apologists / alternate IDs / defenders / fraudulent associates are always here to distract and detract.

Keep your eyes on the ball, wait for the confirmation that all those victims lied and only wanted to tarnish the image of an innocent man. That is the real answer, not rants and vents by folks with ulterior motives. Yes o! Maintaining him as a resource for internet information when you don’t want to pay actual professionals is an ulterior motive. Trying to subvert the truth so that others won’t know what you now know is shameful.

Some of us are still old fashioned, we try to look out for our neighbour. Try it sometime, it comes with it’s own blessings

Sir, Is the color and its appearance of the tiles still good after years of usage? I heard some usually fade off and washes off after years.

Tiles holding water?

I don't understand

Unless you are installing a swimming pool in your bathroom ( of which there are special tiles for this)(only in that respect can you ask of tiles that can hold water).

Is like you guys don't know that Naira has been devalued (albeit codedly). No importer gets dollar for less than $480 anymore. A few months back people who knew people were still able to get at "official rate" (#390 -#420). But now there apex body has allowed the banks to do what they call flexible exchange policy. So banks can now sell at almost the same price as the parallel market. As an illustration, if importers were spending #3900 before to get one Iron rod before, now they spend #4800 to get the same Iron rod.

Yes it can, but the question is at what cost and what bears the brunt?

if you'll be using stone coated sheets and a parapet it comes highly recommended that you should have columns on your build.

Thank you sir for this response. I have the same issue. I am considering using Nigerian tiles. My fears have been confirmed and I am on the right track to use Spanish or Italian for my bathrooms and other wet areas and the Nigerian tiles for the living areas.

Hello, to hold against something means to show ability to withstand adverse effects of that thing. That was what I meant. Whether the tiles can withstand too much exposure to water.
