WPC wall panels

Overview

WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) Wall Panels are manufactured by blending natural wood fibers with thermoplastic polymers, resulting in a lightweight, moisture-resistant, and durable material. The panels are available in various textures, finishes, and colors for versatile design applications.

Key properties:

• Resistant to water, humidity, and termite attacks

• Lightweight and easy to install

• Low-maintenance and long-lasting

• Can be painted or laminated for customized finishes

• Fire-retardant options available for added safety

Common Kenyan applications include:

• Interior feature walls in homes, offices, and hotels

• Exterior cladding for facades and fences

• False ceilings and partitioning solutions

• Decorative panels in restaurants, malls, and public spaces

• Moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms

2024 National Building Code Compliance

BHD’s WPC Wall Panels are compliant with the National Building Code of Kenya (2024), meeting safety, fire-resistance, and structural stability requirements. This ensures that installations are safe for residential and commercial use.

Kenyan Environmental Context

WPC Wall Panels are ideal for Kenyan climates:

• Coastal regions (Mombasa, Malindi): Resistant to humidity, salt air, and termite infestations.

• Urban zones (Nairobi, Thika): Maintains color and structure under direct sunlight and temperature variations.

• High rainfall and humid areas (Kisumu, Kakamega): Moisture resistance prevents warping and mold growth.

These panels outperform natural wood in durability and longevity under Kenya’s environmental conditions.
