STOP TILING YOUR COMPOUND, IT KILLS-SCIENTIST reveals*

Tiles are tiled in houses to beautify it but Environmental Scientist has revealed that, tiling entirely all your compound can kill you.

Tiles in building construction are thin plates or elements used to cover surfaces like roofs, floors, and walls, compounds etc. for aesthetic look.

Tiles in present scenario are a primary element in bringing building interior as well as exterior finishing and beauty.

They are mainly made up of clay material or any form of inorganic raw material.

It is also a way of arranging identical plane shapes so that they completely cover an area without overlapping.

But sharing his view on Omanbapa Morning Show on the cause of flooding in the country, Kofi Oduro Kyerematen, the Environment Scientist told Nana Ampratwum that tiling a surface prevents water from draining.

He said, water molecules are unable to penetrate the plates hence piling up to cause overflow.

He cautioned against tiling almost every corner of the house to allow water flow during raining and practice the habit of growing lawns, gardens and grasses in our house.

This according to him will prevent flooding in most of our communities.

He advised town planners to protect swampy areas and wetlands in Ghana to prevent and resolve flooding.
