MANILA, Philippines - Dreaming of your perfect home may be easy, but everybody knows it’s the construction that could be a nightmare!
More than the waiting for the job to be complete, the process of completing every part of your house is indeed complicated – an undertaking that needs a lot of patience, skill and money.
Now among all parts of a house, it’s truly the walls, the ceiling and the floor that can be considered the most important as these are the foundations of every abode. Which is probably why the process involved just to complete the parts can be so daunting.
Aside from setting-up the base, one has to consider plaster, neutralizer, pure cement and base paint before waiting for the mixture to dry and apply the final paint to finish one part of the house. This is the reason why people need skilled workers just for the job, as making a mistake could mean uneven floors, a peeling wall, or a very leaky ceiling.
“Concrete usually has moisture or can absorb moisture easily. That’s why different procedures particularly neutralizing should be done properly to make sure no moisture seeps out of the concrete and ruin the look of your ceiling, wall or floor.”
Moisture from the concrete often pushes out the layers of the wall. This leads to ‘bubbling’ on the wall surface, causing walls to crack and paints to peel.
“It’s a very ugly effect. Not only will the surface look terrible, but you also feel bad that after all that work and money, your effort turns to waste.”
There are however, alternatives that are worth exploring.
NovTek Corp., a 12-year old local company that are considered experts when it comes to home construction materials, offers NovCrete Skim Coat to homeowners.
Unlike the usual cement and plaster mixture, the NovCrete Skim Coat presents an easy, hassle-free way to turn imperfect walls or ceiling into flat, uniform surfaces.
