Rear view

We have 3 vents here. The middle is for the visitors toilets and the other 2 is each to one flat. Good mechanical vent system will make the house odorless and easy for services in due time.

All tiles are Nigerian made.
We are considering space tiling * it's economical and easy to maintain too

So first of all, the workers have to get the floor clean up, mix the mortar 14 headpan :1 bag of cement depending the size of the room or parlour

Followed by leveling the mortar / screeding the floor

And tile laying

nice work, keep it up
Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(op):
Now watch this,


Tile has front, sides and back, and when all the tiles are not facing one direction they (the tiles) must not be uniformly in line. It will look like some are bigger with some centimeters.

However, behind the tile you will see an arrow, the arrow is meant to face one direction. Educate your tilers for excellent job if you want a very good tilling job because 99% of tilers don't know about this.

Thank you. Very educative. I never knew about the direction of the tiles laying imprinted on the tiles itself. Good one for the novice like me/us.

Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(op):
OK, moving on to wall tilling now.

This tile is 25 by 40mm --- design code 5003

Because it has to be suspended on the wall with a light mortar till when it dry to glue to the wall parmernently, it needs to be so socked in water for 20mins or more in preparation for that.
