Solid Steel grin

Personally, I have never used anything over 0.55.
Unless there is an armoured bird pecking my roof, I think that gauge should do.

After writing all this, I was hoping to see: supply me 100 units of assorted doors grin .
I have told the vendor sometime ago that his location is a minus for the door business. This thread is full of lagos ibadan people. Few of us are in Abj. These cheap doors are everywhere, hung on walls along the road. I personally will SEE and touch doors before I buy.
But he should not give up. He's not a known scammer. He obviously has a thick skin. He just need a big offer to open the floodgates.

I think you are having a rough and unjustified rough patch and ride. From most of the post directed at you, it is not difficult to see you are being cyber bullied. This is no longer crytical analysis. This is bulling.

I have followed your dignified responses and I wish to offer my support to your effort and encourage you in finding honest enterprise.

You answered and supplied all requested information eloquently and some have turned around and use this against you. How can a common welder speak and write so eloquently. Don't be discouraged na Naija way. Superiority complex with some Nigerians na 5 and 6.

You post pictures, no you must post from cloud. You post concept designs, no you must post all doors from one location. It is never enough. Don't be discouraged. Life is a science. If you are out for honest enterprise, trust me, success will find you. And it will be like magic.

You have not done anything wrong in your response to queries concerning your work so I openly condem any unfounded labeling you as fraudulent. I stand by you and support you in finding honest enterprise.

I recognise you are a human being. I recognise you are trying to find honest enterprise. So be encouraged.

We all need a break or two and a kind (Chi) kindred spirit to make it in life. Say "yes" and your chi will say yes. Those whose palm karnel has been cracked by a benevolent spirit, should not forget to be humble (and kind).

Happy Birthday and many happy returns.

I did over 2,000sqm of 0.7mm with Tower last year, I can tell the difference.

Even their .55 is thicker than the imported materials.

I can imagine that... there has to be difference given those gauges. Must be expensive too?
I know many imported lies about their gauges, Naija.

Yes it’s expensive but worth it. That was my first time tho but I really loved the thickness.

0.45 Tower is likely same thing or thicker than 0.55 imported.

When they gave me 0.7, I was like “Is this 1.0mm?”

Is there any reason for the recommendation to use 0.7?

Span? Or Acoustic Absorption/Reduction?

It's what my Architect (Darenyx) spec'd. I don't think it's due to span though as its a small duplex (learnt my lesson about building a huge house).

I think you’ll be fine with 0.55 from reputable aluminum roofing companies.

Beyond getting the right product, the experience and expertise of the installer matters a lot in roofing installation.
I always focus more on the latter than the former.

What gauge did you use on that hidden roof that you did and have you returned to see its performance since?

Thanks.

Edit: To be honest I used .45 on my Welcome Center (small footprint).

To be honest, I use 0.35 on my roof and it’s almost 9 years now. No issues!

No one should abuse me o.
I won’t recommend this to anyone but that’s difference of a good installer. If anyone doubt it, just bring your calliper and come and test the gauge.

So trying to put ceiling in a kobo kobo project.
Its btw pvc and "asbestos".
I dislike pvc, but it appears cheaper than asbestos.
I am yet to do a market survey, but heard 1 board is 1.2m x 1.2m about 3k.
Have not measured the area, but sitting rm is 14 x 12ft, 3 br 12 x 12ft, toilet kitchen, bathroom 8ft x 8ft.
Veranda has 3 sections 10ft x 7ft, 10ft x 7ft and 16ft x 7ft.
Can someone give me a fair cost for labour and materials.

Also electrical wiring, whats a fair figure for workmanship..

it's is not expensive. I used to think like you until I decided to go off grid. You have 1kva, 1.2kva, 1.5kva and so on and so forth.
Advantage
-No noise pollution
-Uninterrupted power supply (depending on usage and KVA)
- No maintenance issues
- 8 yrs and counting
Take that bold step today you will be happy you did
