Badgers14:
When a tiler says, 25 x60 tile..

I assume they meant length 25 x width 60.. is this correct?

Also what unit are the measurements , are they in mm or m. Like 25mm x 60mm or ?

25cm *60cm is (it always written this way 250mm * 600mm) on the cartons

Italian do write in inches at time I.e 12 inches x 33inches at time ooo and it mean length and width

More coming soon

Respects Sir!
The above does not solve the heat problem, l have experienced it before and l did exactly that, based on advice.
It was a three storey building with the top decked with concrete, instead of roof. We keep our Generators and other things at the top and also take breeze there at night but during the day time, f[b]rom about 11am till 3am in the middle of the night[/b], you cant stay inside, even with A.C at full blast in the afternoons.
I eventually have to moved out of the house because it was cooking me from the inside, so to speak. Damages everything, from Electronics, to leather Shoes.

After many years, on a visit to a neighbour who persisted to live there, l saw that what they did was to install Polystyrene Insulators on the Concrete deck and this reduced the heat in the house drastically.
The explanation was that the Concrete absorbs the sun's heat in daytime and gives it out from the evenings, till it finally loses that heat completely around 3am in the night.
By gumming such insulators (those white, packing foam) on the Concrete, the Sun's heat is prevented from even reaching the Concrete so that it cant absorb it.

Doing POP "inside" the rooms wont stop the Concrete from absorbing the heat and it will still pour it out in the space between Concrete Ceiling the POP but the POP Ceiling cannot withstand the pressure build-up arising from the sealed space (if completely sealed), as the temperature in-between rises, it will eventually crack and breakdown.
And if not completely sealed, the heat still escapes into the room (as in my own case!) and we were back to square one. within a few weeks, the POP was discoloured and cracking. and dont forget that the Concrete also transmits the heat to the walls because our walls get hot too.

The ultimate solution is one that prevents the rays of the sun from hitting that concrete.
Roof it or insulate it

Thanks so much chief for this.
Actually I know of this polystyrene system but I do use it for damped problem although it can also protect heat.its good insulating material too.

Somethings ago I used it for a member here to stop damps/ insulator on decking ( the upper area of the building wasn’t built then.

Now let’s check some advantages and uses of pop (plaster of Paris)

Advantages of Plaster of Paris:

It is light in weight and more durable.
It has low thermal conductivity.
It is very good fire resistant and hence a very good heat insulating material.
It does not shrink while setting. Therefore, it does not develop cracks on heating or setting.
It forms a thick surface to resist normal knocks after drying.
It mixes up easily with water and is easy to spread and level.
It has good adhesion on fibrous materials.
It gives a firm surface on which the colours can settle.
It has no appreciable chemical action on paint and does not cause alkali attack.
Plaster of Paris gives a decorative interior finish. Its gypsum content provides it a lot of shine and smoothness.
It can easily be moulded into any shape.

Dennis3D:
Good idea, but...
I will be a bit more worried about the staircase area that goes up to the upper floor (not completed), if not properly done, might lead to leakage and would be worrisome to the POP. Just my thought.

That section( stir area) doesn’t need.

Update pics on the way

Tezcatlipoca:
Hello everyone, please I stay in a decked apartment but yet to complete the building on top of it and the heat is so unbearable. Is dere something that can be done or placed on top of the building to reduce the heat please?

install pop underneath the decking.

Watch out
