Understanding Your Roofing Options

When it comes to roofing materials, Kenya offers a wide variety of options suited to different climates, budgets, and architectural styles. At Ali Glaziers Ltd, we supply the finest roofing solutions for both residential and commercial projects.

1. Clay & Concrete Tiles

Clay tiles are a timeless choice known for their durability and aesthetic appeal. They can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Concrete tiles offer similar benefits at a more affordable price point.

Best for: Traditional and Mediterranean-style homes

2. Polycarbonate Sheets

Lightweight, virtually unbreakable, and UV-protected, polycarbonate sheets are ideal for carports, skylights, greenhouses, and commercial roofing. They allow natural light while blocking harmful UV rays.

Best for: Commercial buildings, carports, and greenhouses

3. Metal Roofing

Metal roofing has become increasingly popular due to its longevity, energy efficiency, and modern appearance. Options include standing seam, corrugated, and stone-coated metal tiles.

Best for: Modern homes and industrial buildings

4. Structural Glazing

For contemporary architecture, structural glazing provides stunning visual impact while offering weather protection. Perfect for curtain walls, skylights, and feature windows.

Best for: High-rise buildings, offices, and luxury homes
