Floor paint with sealant application.

Here's a link to Regal floor paint and sealant going 5 years of application.

If our floor paint with direct contact with the elements can be this durable, imagine that of our premium wall paints.

Truth is that most of Nigerians including the middle class cannot afford most of the houses developers ars developing for sale. I live mostly in Abuja, there hundreds if not thousands of these big houses developed but have been unoccupied in last ten years in FCT. More are still being built, i guess this is largely due to free government fund in the city. I am told there are similar situation ikoyi and parts of Lekki of unoccupied high value flats and massion. Best of luck to the developers anyway.

There is a growing middle class in most developing economies and they are the targeted customers.
Although the modal population are youth below 40 years, most of them are poor and unemployed.
If we were living in a socialist country, then the idea of affordable housing would work. But developers are business people following the money. They are not building for the masses, they are building for those you have money to buy.
People should be allowed freedom to make decisions based on personal circumstances. These growing middle class, young single people would always insist on bigger spaces because they can afford them and because it’s a better investment.

This roof was done before the rainy season with metecopo, only to discover during the rainy season that it was not lapped well, whenever there is a strong rain and breeze together, it can raise any part of the roof and it will be leaking. I called some installer to check on the best possible solution to it, one suggested to buy extra sheet of metecopo, divide it into two or three parts and place it on all the lapping round the roof, but it will lose its beauty. Another installer said to buy long span and cut into two or three parts of V shape then carefully place it under each lapping, in that case it maintain the beauty. Please which should I go for or is there any other best solution to Each... Though my enginer said it is best to remove the whole sheet and buy a new one..

You are talking like you don't live in Nigeria. Most of those unoccupied houses you see are not looking for buyers or renters, they are just means of storing loots until the coast is clear. They are not even owned by developers.

Much appreciated.

Hi, can you throw this open. What exactly do you mean halfway house between the fully central ones and individual split unit Ac’s ?

Multisplit or multi split ACs are systems that have 1 or more indoor units per 1 outdoor/external unit. This allows one to minimise the number of external ACs hanging out on walls.

They are not Central Air-conditioning Systems powering the entire house, but you can power between l and 6 units/rooms from just one Outdoor unit.

This allows you to purchase 2, 3 or 4 units to power the entire house.

They are much more energy efficient than the standard splits as they only generate output based on the demand for cooling. If you switch on the AC in one room, for example, it will only be using say 20% of the installed capacity.

We don't use it much in Nigeria because it is the next level up from split units and relatively newer in technology. I think it will become more popular with time and Solar deployments.

They always want to show class especially for a big classic mansion, you won't blame them though it's a way to express their worth and calibre

Though this was designed for a one bedroom apartment.

That would be awesome. Thank you.

I got the best prices from these guys.

Better than any other person who sold the same brand.

I did my homework though.

got prices/vendors on a spreadsheet, so do your own due diligence.

I don't know if things have changed since then.

The multi-split system is so beautiful, I absolutely recommend it over individual split units especially if you are environmentally conscious or want to conserve power usage

That's what we called multi split unit system. It almost similar to VRF system but the only difference between the multi split unit system and VRF system is that the maximum indoor you can install on multi split is 6numbers but vrf can take more .. they are both low power consumption equipment.

People are using it Nigeria

Daikin, York, Panasonic etc have those system
