Curtain Wall Contractor & Supplier in Nairobi, Kenya
Hanart is a curtain wall and facade contractor and supplier serving Kenya — Nairobi’s office districts and Mombasa’s coastal towers engineered for high altitude sun, monsoon rain and hot-dry East African climate.
Engineering for East Africa’s growth capitals
Kenya’s commercial construction is centered on Nairobi, with Mombasa, Kisumu and the fast-growing satellite towns adding office, hotel and mixed-use demand. The environment is demanding in two directions at once — intense high-altitude UV and heat in Nairobi, and humid, salty, monsoon-driven coastal air in Mombasa.
Hanart engineers for both faces of the Kenyan climate: solar-control glazing and shading for the Nairobi sun, corrosion-protected details and watertight seals for the coast, and performance verification for the hot-dry conditions that define the region.
A direct contract with Hanart gives Kenyan developers the factory strength of a top-50 Chinese contractor — engineering, fabrication, freight and installed delivery from one counterpart, with vetted local installation partners.
Solar-control glazing and shading tuned to Nairobi’s altitude sun.
Corrosion-isolated details for Mombasa’s salt-laden air.
High watertightness classes tested for monsoon downpours.
Vetted Kenyan installation partners under Hanart supervision.
Kenya code alignment and import routing
Facade engineering for Kenya follows the Kenyan building code and applicable wind and structural provisions, with Hanart’s engineers aligning the design and verifying through local consultants as approvals require.
Logistics route through Mombasa port to site, or via JKIA for urgent air-freighted samples. Hanart manages the export package and can deliver DDP or CIF/FOB, with clearances handled by experienced local agents.

Systems we deliver in Kenya
Scopes include unitized and stick curtain wall, window wall, aluminum cladding and structural glazing for offices, hotels, hospitals and mixed-use towers in Nairobi and Mombasa. Feature lobbies can use point-supported or cable-net glazing.
Panels are fabricated and full seal-tested at the Shanghai plant, shipped packed and numbered via Mombasa, and erected by supervised crews or approved local installers. A medium tower programme in Nairobi typically runs 10–16 months from design freeze to completion.
As-built documentation, spares, a maintenance manual and a structured warranty complete the package.
Sourcing a curtain wall contractor in Kenya
Kenya facade purchases typically start with a technical brief, shortlisted contractors, engineering review, mock-up, fabrication and site installation. Where the chain shortens in Kenya — and where cost moves most — is keeping engineering and fabrication under one contract with a single counterpart. Both happen at our Shanghai plant, so the price approved before fabrication is the price that holds for your Nairobi project.
Engineering for Kenya is prepared against the Kenyan code framework. The central engineering team completes structural, thermal, acoustic and fire calculations, and licensed local consultants verify the package before fabrication is released — the same discipline applied in every export market we serve.
Panels leave Shanghai with marine-grade packing, customs-classified documentation and numbered installation drawings, routed for Mombasa. For Kenya we typically ship through Mombasa on DDP or CIF terms, with erection by locally permitted crews under Hanart supervision and a site QA plan covering setting-out, sealant works and watertightness testing.
Typical briefs we price for Kenya: office and bank towers, hotels and resorts, hospitals and education estates, retail and mixed-use developments.
Facade budgets, programmes and risk for Nairobi towers
A realistic facade budget for a Nairobi high-rise splits roughly 6–10% engineering and testing, 55–70% materials and fabrication, 10–15% logistics and 15–25% on-site labour. The mix shifts with unitized versus stick-built systems and the performance-testing regime required — we price both options early.
A cross-border facade contract concentrates three financial risks for Kenyan developers: currency movement, import duty changes and site-readiness sequencing. Hanart covers them with fixed-price packages where the scope allows, DDP terms via Mombasa, and a fabrication schedule sequenced to installation order rather than one bulk shipment.
On site, tolerances, interfaces and weather windows carry the risk — from Nairobi’s altitude sun to Mombasa’s coastal storms. QA covers setting-out, drainage, sealant and watertightness checks, with the verified record handed over before your Nairobi team takes possession.
One contract, full supply chain: what the Hanart package includes
One contract puts engineering, cost, quality and schedule under a single point of responsibility. When site conditions shift, the resolution path runs from your project team to ours through a single NCA-registered partner — no intermediary.

Kenya facade questions, answered
Yes — supply, supply-and-erect and design-build packages, Kenya-code-aligned engineering, Shanghai fabrication and delivery via Mombasa, DDP or CIF.
Solar-control glazing, corrosion-protected coastal details and watertight tested seals keep buildings dry and reduce cooling load.
DDP including import duty and clearance, or CIF/FOB via Mombasa. Duty and documentation are planned by our team before cargo moves.
Yes — supply-only with full engineering and documentation for installation by your contractor is standard.
10–16 months from design freeze to completion for a tower, depending on area and access conditions — confirmed at tender stage.
Local verification and approvals for Kenyan projects
Approval of imported facade systems is a project-specific process, so Hanart packages the evidence your consultants and authorities expect: Kenyan code calculations verified by a local engineer, customs-classified import documentation and test certificates for every performance class, issued in final form at handover.
For tenders, the package is prepared in the format your procurement team requires and delivered as a fixed offer — typically six to twelve weeks from technical brief to priced proposal, including logistics through Mombasa, DDP or CIF.
