Product review: Sharon paints

Sharon paints products, is a product of the Sharom paints and chemical company Ltd, operating out of Ninth Mile corner, Ngwo, Enugu state. This company is responsible for the production of many kinds of paints and resins, for residential, commercial and industrial properties. 

They have a wide range of products which include the Sharon emulsion paints, Sharon gloss finish, Vineyard matt paints, Onytex Texcote paints among others. I have been opportune to use their products in as many as 45 buildings in the past 15 years. 

From my experience about using Sharon paints, it has become clear to me that this company has a consistent product quality, which is very important during the finish of a building, because you already have a good expectation of the quality of the finish work. Their colour combinations are always good to see. Another thing I have experienced is that their paints are more durable on walls, compared to many other products i have used in the past. 

Sharon paints also have many colours for builders and home owners to choose from, their colours are blended to match the Nigerian weather, which could be very harsh in some seasons. The most important thing about paint quality is the ability to withstand harsh weather conditions like the African tropical sunshine. 

The only downside to using Shoron paints is the cost. Although Sharon paints is not as costly as Intercolor paints, Berger, Dulux and all the other paints, but it's still costlier than many other paints.

How to make the best out of blocks spoilt by rainfall

Making sandcrete blocks that will be used to build a house is physically tasking, but losing them to natural events is tougher to bear. You just finished molding blocks waiting for them to dry, and suddenly, it starts raining. Many, if not all the blocks may be lost to rain damage. 

Some people of course buy waterproof sheets and spread on the newly made blocks, to prevent the direct impact of the rainfall. But that won't solve all the problems because the rains could be flowing on the ground, finding ways to get under the blocks, thereby melting the blocks that are  not yet firm. 

As soon as this happens, wait till after the rains to gather all the affected blocks which has been spoilt by rain, heap them on the ground and mix properly. Add some quantity of cement, mix again till it becomes as good as it was before they were first made, then start molding the blocks afresh. 

Happy building. 

How to construct the foundation of a new building on waterlogged land.

How to do a proper foundation for building a new house on a waterlogged land.

Home ownership, especially building a new one could be very exciting. Many people have bought lands to build their houses, but to their surprise, the lands they bought during a dry season that is looking dry and cool on the surface turns out to be a swamp, with so much water flow and settlement in the rainy season that some of them will seem impossible to construct your dream home. Sounds familiar right? Then settle down and review these few points about what you need to do to solve this problem, and still build your dream home.

1. First, conduct a survey on the land.

Stop fretting about the problem, get a diagnosis of the problem first. Call in a structural engineer to study the nature of the land. There are lands that have very low bearing capacities. A land that has a low bearing capacity is a land that will not support the load of a heavy building without sinking, cracking, or collapsing completely. It is important to study the nature of the land with instruments made for the purpose, one of such equipment is called a Theodolite. The land should be studied extensively, with the type and size of the building planned for the land well considered.

2. Design the right foundation type.

After a careful examination of the land, and obtaining results from it, the next thing is to use the results of the land structural investigation to design a proper foundation type for the building. This will need a careful application of structural engineering, combining with an architectural design that will bring out the best of the planned building. I must sound a note of warning here, it's always better to conduct land surveys to understand the nature of a land before an architect will finally conclude the design the planned building. There are many types of foundation that could be chosen for a building, they include;

A. Raft foundation
B. Mat foundation
C. Pad foundation
D. Pile foundation

The type that will be chosen will depend on the nature of the land, and the desired building type.

3. Planning for the foundation

We all plan for the foundation of every building, but the type of planning you do for a waterlogged land is more intense. This is because you will be planning on how to work on water, most of the time. Working on water, especially natural swamps will expose the workers to a difficult terrain, moving materials, equipment and workers could be more difficult. There could also be the added risk of meeting with some animals that live in such habitats. Examples include poisnous snakes, alligators or crocodiles, poisonous insects or mosquitoes.
You plan will be on way to mitigate against these identified problems of logistics, and added risk of marine dwelling animals.

4. Higher cost implications

By now, with these few points above, you should know that with these added problems, there must be the likelihood of a higher cost implication for the foundation, when compared to doing it on dry ground. On the average, it will cost about 40% more money to build a house foundation in a waterlogged land, compared to dry ground. There is also the possibility of using special kinds of building materials, like waterproof cement, and other materials.

Finally, its good to make sure you do it right with a foundation on a land that is waterlogged, because the cost of redoing it could be much higher. It is also imperative that professionals are involved in the planning and execution process of the foundation. For more information about this topic or others, contact us on 08033350750.
