Kenya's construction sector is experiencing a surge in vertical expansion, particularly in Nairobi. This growth has created a massive demand for float glass that can withstand intense equatorial sunlight while maintaining interior coolness.
The local market has shifted from basic framing to sophisticated curtain walls. Consequently, there is a growing preference for grey float glass to reduce glare and heat gain, which is critical for energy efficiency in large commercial complexes.
Despite the growth, the supply chain often struggles with the consistency of plain glass sheet quality. This creates a significant opportunity for international standards to be implemented in the Kenyan architectural glass sector.
