At BV Natural Stones, we specialize in creating beautiful, durable, and timeless finishes using natural stones. Our recent project at Ruai Site in Nairobi highlights how different cuts and sizes of Mazeras can be blended seamlessly to transform both walls and floors into works of art.
Project Overview
This commercial property in Ruai, Nairobi required a unique yet elegant finish that could withstand heavy use while enhancing its modern architectural design. The client wanted a harmonized natural stone look across the pillars, walls, and floors.
To achieve this, we used:
- 3-inch Mazeras for wall cladding – ensuring bold textures and lasting strength.
- 1-inch Mazeras for pillar cladding – giving the structural supports a sleek but solid finish.
- Mixed-cut Mazeras for floor cladding – providing durability for high foot traffic and vehicle movement while keeping an earthy, stylish appeal.
Why Mazeras?
Mazeras remains one of the most versatile and reliable natural stones in Kenya. For this Ruai project, it was chosen because:
- Durability – Handles heavy use, foot traffic, and weather exposure.
- Visual Appeal – The combination of warm tones, natural textures, and varied cuts creates timeless beauty.
- Low Maintenance – Requires minimal upkeep while maintaining elegance.
- Value Addition – Enhances the curb appeal and long-term property value.
Installation Process
- Surface Preparation
- The walls, pillars, and floor were thoroughly cleaned and leveled.
- A strong base was prepared to ensure proper adhesion and durability.
- Stone Sorting & Selection
- Stones were carefully handpicked to balance colors and textures.
- Sizes were matched depending on whether they were for the wall, pillar, or floor.
- Cladding & Laying
- 3-inch Mazeras were fitted onto walls for a strong, bold effect.
- 1-inch stones were installed on pillars, allowing finer detail and a neater look.
- The floor was covered with mixed-cut Mazeras, giving it both a decorative and functional finish.
- Finishing
- Stones were sealed to highlight natural tones and protect against moisture, dust, and stains.
- Final touches ensured smooth transitions between walls, pillars, and floor designs.
The Final Look
The result is a perfectly blended natural stone finish that:
- Creates a warm and welcoming first impression.
- Gives the commercial property a modern yet timeless appeal.
- Ensures strength and resilience for years to come.
Challenges & Solutions
- Color Variation – Natural stones vary in shade. We carefully sorted them for balance and harmony.
- Traffic Resistance – Since it’s a commercial site, the floor required extra reinforcement to handle wear and tear. Mixed-cut Mazeras provided both durability and beauty.
- Weather Exposure – Sealants were applied to ensure long-lasting protection against Nairobi’s changing climate.
