When investing in a property, particularly in Nigeria’s evolving real estate landscape, homebuyers are becoming more conscious of long-term value. One of the most overlooked yet critical factors in maximizing value is the choice of finishing materials. These are the materials used in the final stages of construction that affect both aesthetics and functionality—wall finishes, flooring, roofing, and more.
At Solap Signature Properties Ltd, we believe smart living starts with smart material choices. Our projects are designed to reduce post-construction maintenance by up to 50%, and that begins with selecting finishes that stand the test of time, climate, and daily use.
Here are the Top Finishing Materials we recommend for a truly low-maintenance lifestyle:
1. Porcelain Tiles (For Flooring and Wall Finishes)
Porcelain tiles are dense, less porous, and far more durable than standard ceramic tiles. Their water resistance and hard surface make them ideal for high-traffic areas, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Benefits:
- Scratch and stain resistant.
- Easy to clean with minimal effort.
- Wide variety of styles, colors, and textures.
- High resistance to moisture and wear
Simply mop regularly using water and mild detergent—no waxing or polishing required.
2. Textured Exterior Paint (Acrylic-Based or Silicone-Enhanced)
Traditional paints fade or peel over time, especially in Nigeria’s tropical climate. However, textured and acrylic-based exterior paints offer better adhesion and weather resistance.
Benefits:
- Long-lasting color retention.
- Excellent resistance to dirt, algae, and mildew.
- Minimal cracking, even under intense sun and rain.
- Enhances curb appeal while reducing repaint frequency
A light annual wash using a soft brush or hose is often enough to maintain appearance.
3. Aluminum Roofing Sheets (Stone-Coated or Color-Bonded)
Compared to traditional roofing sheets, aluminum roofing offers superior durability, thermal efficiency, and low maintenance. It is rust-resistant and reflects heat, which keeps the home cooler.
Benefits:
- Lifespan of 40–60 years with minimal upkeep.
- Non-corrosive and weatherproof.
- Fire-resistant and eco-friendly.
- Reduces the need for frequent roof replacements
Annual inspection is sufficient; most cleaning is handled by rainfall. Remove debris from gutters as needed.
Incorporating low-maintenance materials doesn’t just reduce time and cost—it enhances the quality of life. By choosing wisely from the very beginning, homeowners can avoid the frequent headaches of repairs, replacements, and costly upkeep.
At Solap Signature Properties Ltd, every estate is thoughtfully designed with these principles in mind—delivering not just beautiful homes, but smart, sustainable solutions for modern living.
