Marble boards in Kenya

Overview

Marble Boards are engineered interior panels manufactured using high-density composite cores with a marble-patterned decorative surface layer. Unlike natural marble slabs, these boards offer consistent thickness, lighter weight, and uniform design, making them ideal for precision interior applications.

Key technical characteristics include:

• Smooth, polished marble-effect surface

• High dimensional stability

• Lightweight compared to natural stone

• Easy cutting, drilling, and fixing

• Compatible with adhesives and mechanical fasteners

Their uniform structure ensures predictable performance in furniture fabrication, wall cladding, and decorative installations where natural marble may be impractical.

Common applications include:

• TV feature walls and accent walls

• Office and retail interior cladding

• Wardrobes, cabinets, and furniture panels

• Hotel and showroom décor

• Interior partitions and column wraps

2024 National Building Code Compliance

Marble Boards supplied by BHD are suitable for interior use under the National Building Code of Kenya (2024), particularly in:

• Non-load-bearing wall finishes

• Interior decorative surfaces

• Commercial fit-outs and residential interiors

Their controlled manufacturing process supports compliance with safety, finish quality, and material consistency standards outlined in the updated code.

Kenyan Environmental Context

Kenya’s interior environments present unique performance demands:

• Urban interiors (Nairobi, Thika): Marble Boards maintain surface finish under high indoor temperature variations and frequent cleaning.

• Coastal regions (Mombasa, Malindi): Unlike natural marble, Marble Boards are less susceptible to salt-induced staining when used indoors.

• High-humidity towns (Kisumu, Kakamega): With proper installation and ventilation, Marble Boards retain dimensional stability in humid conditions.

They are particularly well-suited for climate-controlled interiors where long-term aesthetic consistency is required.
