These modern steel roofing sheets are designed to withstand Kenya’s diverse climates—whether you’re battling heavy rainfall in Kisii, searing sun in Turkana, or salty coastal air in Mombasa.
Ngao Mabati is manufactured with a high‑quality steel core, protective coatings to resist corrosion, and profiles engineered for both strength and visual appeal. But what exactly makes it different from ordinary mabati? Let’s break it down.
