Why Kenya’s Roofing Market Needs Quality PPGI Coil
Pre-painted “mabati” roofing — box-profile, corrugated and tile-profile sheet — is the backbone of construction across Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu and Eldoret, from housing and schools to commercial and agricultural buildings. Kenya is also East Africa’s roofing hub, with sheet re-exported across the region. The coastal humidity of Mombasa and high-UV highlands quickly degrade low-grade galvanized sheet, so a credible PPGI coil supplier for Kenya must provide a reliable zinc base (Z60–Z180) under a UV-stable polyester topcoat that resists fading and rust streaking. Our prepainted coil delivers consistent color and long roof life at competitive cost.
PPGI Coil Grades and Specifications
Kenyan roll-formers commonly order 0.18–0.45 mm gauges for box-profile and corrugated mabati. Below are our most-supplied grades.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| DX51D+Z (EN 10169) | 0.18 – 0.35 | Z40 – Z100 | Polyester (PE) | Economical box-profile mabati |
| DX51D+Z (EN 10169) | 0.30 – 0.45 | Z100 – Z180 | Polyester (PE) | Standard & tile-profile roofing |
| SGCC (JIS G3312) | 0.25 – 0.50 | Z80 – Z150 | PE | General colored roofing sheet |
| S250GD+Z (EN 10346) | 0.40 – 0.80 | Z180 – Z275 | PE / SMP | Commercial & coastal roofing |
Popular colors: RAL 3000/3005 (red/maroon), RAL 6005 (green), RAL 9002 (white), RAL 5005 (blue), RAL 8017 (brown). Width 914/1000/1219 mm. MOQ 25 tons per color and thickness.
Shipping to Kenya via Mombasa
We ship from Qingdao to Mombasa Port, with onward transit to Nairobi and the wider East African Community. Sea transit is roughly 26–34 days. A 20-ft container loads about 22–25 tons of 0.30–0.45 mm coils. We quote FOB Tianjin or CIF Mombasa, with seaworthy packing (waterproof paper, edge protectors, steel strapping, wooden pallets) suited to humid coastal handling and inland haulage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide PVoC / KEBS documentation?
Yes. We arrange Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) via SGS, Intertek or Bureau Veritas and supply mill test certificates, so your steel meets KEBS standards and clears customs at Mombasa smoothly.
Can you supply very thin gauges for box-profile mabati?
Yes — we produce 0.18–0.30 mm PPGI with tight tolerance, ideal for cost-competitive box-profile and corrugated roofing.
What is the lead time to Mombasa?
Production 15–20 days + sea transit 26–34 days ≈ 40–55 days factory-to-port. We share documents at each stage.
What payment terms do you accept?
T/T (30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy) and L/C at sight, quoted in USD.
