At BV Natural Stones, we pride ourselves on delivering premium natural stone finishes that combine beauty, durability, and functionality. Our recent project at Manyatta Site, Embakasi, Nairobi involved transforming a residential property with stunning mazeras wall cladding using a blend of red, black, and grey Mazeras stones. The results showcase the timeless elegance and strength that only natural stone can provide.
Why a Blend of Red, Black, and Grey Mazeras?
Mazeras stone is one of the most popular natural stones in Kenya, valued for its rustic beauty and long-lasting performance. For this project, the client wanted a finish that would be both eye-catching and unique, without compromising durability.
The blend of red, black, and grey Mazeras offered several benefits:
- Striking Visual Appeal – The contrasting colors create depth and texture, making the walls stand out.
- Durability – Mazeras is resistant to weather changes, making it ideal for Nairobi’s climate.
- Versatility – Works seamlessly on both the gate walls and the residential apartment exterior.
- Value Addition – Natural stone cladding boosts the curb appeal and long-term value of the property.
Project Scope
The work at Manyatta Site focused on two key areas:
- Gate Cladding
- The entrance of the home was given a premium upgrade.
- The gate pillars and surrounding boundary walls were clad in Mazeras, giving visitors a strong first impression.
- Residential Apartment Walls
- The external walls of the apartment were finished with the same stone blend.
- This created consistency from the gate to the house, enhancing the overall architecture.
Installation Process of the Mazeras
Our experienced team followed a step-by-step process to ensure flawless results:
- Site Assessment & Preparation
- The surfaces were cleaned, leveled, and reinforced for proper adhesion.
- Any cracks were repaired to ensure stability before cladding.
- Stone Selection
- High-quality red, black, and grey Mazeras stones were sourced, sorted, and arranged to balance color and texture.
- Cladding
- Stones were cut and carefully laid with precision to achieve a seamless natural pattern.
- Special adhesives and mortar suitable for natural stones were used for long-lasting installation.
- Finishing Touches
- The joints were sealed to prevent water seepage.
- A protective sealant was applied, enhancing the natural colors and improving durability.
Challenges & Solutions
- Color Matching: Since Mazeras is a natural stone, shades can vary. We hand-sorted the stones to achieve a balanced, attractive blend.
- Weather Interruptions: Unexpected rains in Nairobi slowed progress, but we used protective coverings and adjusted schedules.
- Surface Variations: The apartment walls were not fully even. Our team leveled them for a consistent final look.
Results – A Lasting Transformation
The completed project is a showcase of elegance and strength:
- The gate walls now provide a bold, welcoming statement to the property.
- The apartment exterior has been elevated with a luxurious finish that ties in beautifully with the surrounding environment.
- The blend of red, black, and grey Mazeras has created a unique, timeless look that will serve the property for decades.
