Keballl:Sure bro. BTW which "Naoimi" phone you they use? ![]() |

They couldn't wait to move in #happy customers.

Keballl:When big brands like dangote groups, banks, telecoms still put their customers first (even the customer they know they can afford to lose). I SMH for folks that think they have arrived, when in reality they haven't even started their journey. You need to see how Aliexpress Salers will beg you not to open dispute, even if they've done nothing wrong. A serious minded business man will do his all to keep even the most difficult customer happy, and earn one more positive feedback. |
eleojo23:That's the main reason i over looked that "sweet" deal, this is Nigerian telecoms we are talking about here. The other reason is my insatiable appetite for data. I average 1gb per day, i'm sure that figure will rapidly increase if i have data in TBs. |
eleojo23:No you are not, i share your sentiment ![]() |
Gptech:So immature. ![]() |
Dam5reey:The bolded is so true, and i find it annoyingly frustrating. |
Get sporty this weekend! Admittedly, not everyone will be able to carry their legs around a football field for 90 minutes on a Sunday morning, but if you can do a little physical activity, you will feel great and get good health benefits. Alternatively, you could get outdoors and watch some sport first-hand, rather than watching it on TV. The weekend is when most sporting activity takes place — so why not get out of the house and see a game of football, rugby, basketball or another sport? It may even inspire you to start playing the sport yourself! Have a great weekend. |

What's the difference between Porcelain tiles and Ceramics tiles? This a question i've had to answer over and over again, each time a client comes around to make choices. So i'll decided to trow more light on the topic. The terms "ceramic" and "porcelain" get thrown around interchangeably, as if they were the same. Tile shop salespeople often claim a vast world of difference between the two in order to justify porcelain's higher prices. But here are the true similarity or differences as the case my be. The Family of Ceramic Porcelain and ceramic tile are essentially the same, yes! They are, with one slight difference. Both are part of the larger category of tiles we can call ceramic. It is more a case of reverse-naming, whereby manufacturers take tiles that have certain qualities and then assign the ceramic or porcelain titles to them. Add a healthy dose of marketing-speak and sales pitch. Tile people often tout porcelain's storied history, evoking its Italian etymology--porcellana, which means cowrie shell. Fine porcelain-ware is white, translucent, strong, and it has a fine, dense body. They mention how fine china is made of porcelain. But none of that applies to porcelain tile. This is different ball game. It's a game of branding and certifying, and has nothing to do with fine china. (And certainly, porcelain tile and ceramic tile can be considered close cousins when discussing other, wildly different types of tile such as quarry tile, glass tile, or natural stone.) So what are the differences? 1. Porcelain Has a Low Water Absorption Rate Porcelain tile has a water absorption rate of 0.5% as defined by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C373. First, fired tile is weighed. Then it is boiled for 5 hours and let to sit in water for 24 hours. Next, it is weighed again. If the tile weighs less than half of one-percent more as a result of water absorbing into its surface, it is considered porcelain. Porcelain tile is often extruded; has fewer impurities than ceramic; is often rectified; and often contains more kaolin than ceramic. It is formed of quartz, clay, and feldspar that is fired at temperatures ranging from 1200-1400 degrees C. But since that also defines many ceramics, again the difference is that porcelain has that 0.5% or less water absorption rate. 2. Porcelain Is Certified So That It Can Be Called "Porcelain" Due to confusion from overzealous (or dishonest) tile companies and their marketing departments, The Porcelain Tile Certification Agency (PTCA) certifies tile as being porcelain or not. So, according to PTCA, it is not simply enough for a tile to be "impervious" (a favorite tile term, meaning that it is good against water); it has to meet standards of water absorption by sending in five tile samples for testing, before it is Certified "Porcelain Tile". Interior or Exterior: No Ceramic Outside Laying ceramic tile outside is typically not recommended. Ceramic is usually not durable enough for exterior use because it absorbs too much water. Density: Porcelain Denser Than Ceramic Porcelain clays are denser and thus less porous than ceramic clays. This makes porcelain tile harder and more impervious to moisture than ceramic tile. Durability: Porcelain Wins Not only is porcelain tile more dense than ceramic tile, but due to its through-body composition, it is considered more durable and better suited for heavy usage than ceramic tile. While both porcelain and ceramic are fired, porcelain is fired at higher temperatures for a longer time than ceramic. Also, porcelain has higher feldspar content, which makes it more durable. Ease of Cutting: Ceramic a Softer Cut Than Porcelain The aforementioned density has a good side and a bad side. While ceramic is less dense than porcelain, it's also a far easier material for DIY homeowners to cut--by hand, by wet tile saw, or. tile cutter. Porcelain is more brittle and may require the experienced hand of a tile-setter to cut properly. Which One Is Cheaper? All other factors equal, ceramic tile is cheaper than porcelain tile. On average and across all sizes, porcelain costs N2600 as opposed to 1300 for ceramic. Translated, this means that ceramic tends to be about 50--% of the cost of porcelain. Unless there is some anomaly in pricing, ceramic tile will always be cheaper than porcelain tile. But again, you need to consider other factors in your choice of tile, not solely pricing.

DON’T TRUST THE WALLS Walls are not always true. If you start a tiling project by following the wall, you may end up with a wavy pattern by the time your reach the middle of the floor. Instead, make a perfectly straight chalk line in the middle of your floor and start there.

As an online service provider, we meet different caliber of people every day, my aim is always to conclude yet another deal and leave a happy customer. Protein0 i thinks i feel your pain but you took things too far and too personal, during transaction you should always keep your mind on the target " HAVING A SUCCESSFUL TRANSACTION" , now you ended up with an unsuccessful deal and unhappy customers. This is phone thread where we do deals of 40, 100, 200k, maybe that's why you guys thinks it's wrong for scarr to press the panic button.
