@jaykiggz@cenas_j The last house with red roofing tiles is not zero joint. The mortar was actually mixed with the brown stone powder to take away the ugly mortar look.
This is how it went down at the Worldβs Environment Day celebration in Nakuru.
This yearβs theme #BeatingPlasticPollution resonates with our work.
Letβs keep Africa plastic waste free!
Entrepreneurship is a long term game.
7 years ago, we pitched our product to the team at Tatu city to accept our Eco Tiles as one of the approved roofing material in their Mega real estate project.
It is easily one the biggest real estate projects in Africa.
Happy to announce that we finally got a chance to roof two exclusive houses last month. Finally, the break that we needed.
We continue keeping our eyes on the prize π
One advantage of using a Recycled Plastic Tile @ecotiles is to prevent scenarios like this one.
The tile can be secured on the roof with nails.
