Born2conquer:

2350 for wholesale Give link! We bought over 600 bags and the difference between the wholesale and retail was just 100naira.

We still paid 50naira per bag to the laborer for delivery.

If 1k is the gain per bag?? I will willingly and singlehandedly start a cement business today

I’ve done some research on this. The industry is a volume game. There’s no way to get cement at N1K below retail. No way.

If there’s a way then I’m ready today.

Please is there any sort of system one can install say maybe in the kitchen that does water treating (filter and treats) in a home? Such that one can SAFELY drink the borehole water from the kitchen tap. I'll like information on it if available.

Yeah, Water Filter to be installed around the tank's pipe.

What I do is, 2 filters (one going into the tank and one for the pipe supplying the house) so he should get ready to be changing filters every 2weeks and washing tank every 3 months.

I heard there is one attached to the borehole and it's a permanent solution! I'd just have to maintain a clean tank. They say this is what those water factories use? Please how true? Thank you

You are very correct, but it's the thread in the filter that will be changed every three months. "According to my Plumber". Washing of the Tank too a necessity.


That's what Most water Factories use. If you're living on the Mainland & you've got a good borehole, Filter & tank cleaning is the way to go.

Buying or considering replacing your traditional windows with casement windows, these guides may be advantageous to you as a nairalander or a non nairalander.

We are all here to learn and reading this article now will give you an insight to some important things about Casement window which is one of the best most popular modern type of windows in World, other types of windows includes basement, bay, awning and louvers windows.

So let get started, let us share our ideals and experience as well.

Awning windows and Basement windows also look like casement windows but they are partially different in terms of installation but louvers windows are entirely different from all.

Casement windows are one the most made of aluminum windows in the world.

In Nigeria we have different companies importing these products for making of these windows by the process called fabricating.

Nigalex is the one of the most expensive follow by the tower aluminum, then there are imported ones many windows fabricators call tower standard but not tower just the standard of what tower produce locally, majority are from china but they have standard of tower quality, you know what I mean, Nigeria are not mining iron ore at ajaokuta talk more of mining aluminum, all this materials are imported, apart from woods for roofing, blocks for building, Coleman wire produce in Nigeria, there are few others building materials Nigeria produces.

The standard glass thickness for residential building is 5mm, you can choose to have a transparent glass, black, white or cream but all of this is a choice, but for security purpose the best one is the type that you can see people outside when you are inside in the afternoon or morning, but they can’t see you, they will only be looking at themselves as if it was a mirror they are seeing and in the night they can hardly see what is inside even when the light is on in the night expect the person is as close to the window as skin is closer to the bones in our body.

Casement windows are usually hung vertically with an opening window hinged from the left or right side of the frame. The opener can be inward or outward, but is more commonly installed with the opening element moving in an outward motion. Windows which open inwardly are usually seen in residential apartments or buildings where security and safety are an issue of concern or paramount.

Due to the simple construction and stout, ruggedness, staunch and sturdy frame, casement windows are known to stand the test of time, compare to all major types of windows, without repairs or replacement.

The Crank is the controller locker of the opening and closing of the window unit, if the crank is not well fix or attach, or the material use is not standard, then the crank is likely to fail at a very short time.

The biggest market for these casement windows products is at Aluminum Village, Dopemu close to Egbeda in Lagos, Nigeria.

Casement windows can be embedded with net, and burglary so there is no need of doing a separate burglary proof or net, when you are considering casement windows for your project, though there are some people that love to have their casement windows and net embedded together while they do a separate burglary that will be install separately but at the end you will end up spending more money than you need to spend on a single window that will have a casement, burglary and net embedded together.

If you are considering the casement, burglary and net embedded in the iron rod that will be use inside the burglary pipe is 16mm.

Important things to consider are Reasonable Price, Efficiency, Zero Noise Cancellation, Available in Different Designs and Color, Ventilation.

Reasonable Price
Casement windows are one of the best priced windows types, I can categorically tell you that a casement windows measuring 4ft x 4ft or 1.2m x 1.2m with burglary and net embedded together is around N45k to N50k without burglary is N35k to N40k plus, designs applies


Efficiency
Casement windows are one of the most energy efficient windows, the sash which is the framework in which panes of glass are set in the window, when closed form a seal around the entire windows frame, reducing or zero cancelling the amount of Air Leakage which can pass between the inside and the outside space, so your air conditioners can attach uppermost coolest of the inside house.


Zero Noise Cancellation
Zero Noise penetration or cancellation from the outside space is another added value for you when you install a casement windows, so whatever you are saying inside your room will not leak outside and whatever noise outside can’t come inside especially when you leave beside a church or a mosque, please remember I’m an Atheist, lol.

Available in Different Designs and Color
Casement windows is available in various variety of finishes and colors designs with range of accessories such as chrome, vinyl or brass crank handles, you can also add a range of optional extra such as surface grills and lead grills this makes the casement windows more attractive to the eye and less plain looking like sliding windows.


Ventilation
Casement windows provide good ventilation and usually allow two way ventilation methods, one which allows you to open the windows full.
for casement windows call us, we are still in business

Ok, so assuming one wants to do a plain POP ceiling (no design) for a 4 bedroom bungalow measuring about 21m x 16m, how much would be your best price?

I think it's okay. Once you have furniture, rugs, etc then you won't notice them as much.

I also prefer the plain ones personally (gives a sort of neutral background for your interior decor), but those patterned ones also look great. Weldone Sir!

I would have chosen the plain off white ones too but I handed the project to my Wife to get her hands dirty. I didn't want to second guess her. They're just tiles and can be changed during future remodelling.

Yeah, you're right Sir...but for me, as long as the money is coming from my pocket, there are certain things I'll want to choose for myself, and tiles are definitely one of those (make my eyes no come dey scratch me everyday as I dey look the tiles). I'd prefer to involve my wife at the interior decor stage, which is easier to redo if needs be cheesy
