Plumbers in the house, is anything wrong with these toilets layouts looking at where the WC's were placed?
Not a plumber, but I don't see anything wrong with that. The solid waste piping would just have to run under the floor though.

Any experience with tileless bathrooms? Did anyone on this thread ditch the common tiled bathroom for something else? If yes, please share your experience.

Bathrooms are tiled for a number of reasons:

Waterproofness: Tiles are non-porous, meaning they don't absorb water. This is important in bathrooms, which are exposed to a lot of moisture from showers, baths, and sinks.

Durability: Tiles are very durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. This makes them a good choice for high-traffic areas like bathrooms.

Easy to clean: Tiles are easy to clean and maintain. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth or mopped with a mild detergent.

Aesthetics: Tiles come in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and finishes, so you can create a unique and stylish look for your bathroom.


Alternatives to tiles in the bathroom:

Waterproof wall panels: Waterproof wall panels are a relatively new alternative to tiles. They are made from a variety of materials, including PVC, acrylic, and stone resin. Waterproof wall panels are easy to install and maintain, and they come in a wide range of colors and finishes.

Laminate: Laminate is a popular choice for flooring in kitchens and bathrooms. It is durable, easy to clean, and comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. However, it is important to note that laminate is not completely waterproof, so it is important to seal the edges of any laminate flooring in the bathroom.

Natural stone: Natural stone, such as marble, granite, and slate, can be used to create a luxurious and elegant look in the bathroom. However, natural stone is expensive and can be difficult to maintain.

Paint: Paint is a more affordable alternative to tiles and other materials. However, it is important to choose a paint that is specifically designed for bathrooms and that is resistant to moisture and mildew.

Based on your analysis tiles is still the best.

Back to your question, I have completed a bathroom without tiles and NO traces of dampness.
My village bathroom was built with 4 walls of Aluminum covered round the toilet with cross bar plank to cover the entrance with cloth hung on it, without running of pipes , instead we used bucket and fetching bowl to bath.
Cheapest and zero maintenance

Good morning Nairalanders,
Can the expert help me review is quotation for plastering of a 4 unit of 2 bedroom flats in Port Harcourt. See attached picture.

Can you also review the quotation for a casement window with burglary proof and net
What exactly is the labour and installation all about for the aluminum windows. Isn't labour supposed to be included in the charge per window design??.
The plastering seems fair considering the fact I got a bill similar to urs for just 2 blocks of 3bedroom flat. And urs is 4 blocks of 2bedroom.

You can use resin-quoted MDF with hardner . Works very well.

I can share with you videos of how they do it over here.

Very lovely and ‘royale’

Even they use it for countertops.

Please share with me.

I am doing a bathroom remodel.

I have already fixed one major design flaw.

The toilet seat should not be seen if the bathroom door is open. This involved a complete redo of the plumbing works.

I have been consulting YouTube on ways to make the bathroom luxurious and one can either make use of very large tiles to reduce the amount of grout one has to deal with

Or one can use an alternative material.

Please share the video or videos

There are lots of other videos. Check those ones out and you would learn a great deal and take your interior deco biz to a higher level.

Every materials used in those videos are in Nigeria.

Just make your research and don’t buy China made materials for your works to come out well. You know what our Nigerian importers from Asia do 😉

There are Europe or American chemicals and they would give you better results.

I've had my fair share of trouble from using Chinese glue.

Posted about their high VOC adhesive awhile back.

Cannot make the same mistake twice.

I want to thank you for sharing.

I found another example of the stunning craftmanship that can command premium dollars courtesy of you
