CERAMIC FIBER IN NAIROBI KENYA
Ceramic Fiber in Nairobi, Kenya is one of the most efficient high-temperature insulation materials available in the modern industrial environment. With very low thermal mass, extremely low thermal conductivity, and exceptional thermal shock resistance, ceramic fiber insulation offers outstanding heat-resistant performance in demanding applications across factories, ovens, furnaces, boilers, and commercial heating systems.
Ceramic fiber does not retain heat, making it ideal for applications where fast heating and cooling cycles are required. It is lightweight, flexible, asbestos-free, food-grade safe, and easy to transport, cut, or shape to fit complex insulation requirements.

1. Ceramic fiber Blanket in Kenya
Ceramic Fiber Blanket is the most widely used product in high-temperature insulation. Known for its flexibility and ability to resist direct flame exposure, it is used in:
- Power plants
- Petrochemical industries
- Metallurgy
- Ceramic kilns
- Foundries
- Furnace linings
Best for Pizza Oven Insulation
In Kenya, ceramic fiber blanket is the top choice for domestic and commercial oven insulation, especially:
- Pizza ovens
- Bakery ovens
- Brick ovens
Recommended Thickness:
➡ 50mm ceramic fiber blanket for pizza ovens
➡ Add a layer of perlite on top for weather protection
This combination allows the oven to reach 800°C internally, while the exterior stays only slightly warm.
Advantages
- Cuts easily with a blade or scissors
- Handles direct flame contact
- Lightweight and easy to install
- Provides the highest insulation effectiveness
Ceramic blanket in Nairobi Kenya is perfect for situations with direct exposure to flames. With regards to manufacturing operations, this form is commonly used in the power, metallurgy and petrochemical industries.
Being very flexible and easy to cut, ceramic fiber blanket is easily molded around the various shapes of the ovens. The cuttings can be done with a blade or scissors.
When insulating pizza ovens or other ovens, the most recommended thickness is 50mm. this thickness is to be covered with a layer of perlite on top to protect the ceramic fiber blanket from weather and to give it more life. The combination is the most effective as one heat the oven up to 800°C and the outside of it will be just mildly warm.
