Homes and buildings in Free State
The Free State is maize country, with Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad, Bethlehem and Sasolburg as its main centres. Cold winters bring frost to open plains and the Maluti foothills, so outdoor floors need frost-resistant porcelain with proper movement joints. Farmhouses often have original clay or sandstone floors, and town houses in Bloemfontein carry decades of old vinyl and ceramic ready to be replaced. Goldfields towns and the Sasol area bring rental housing, workshops and clinics, while Clarens and Harrismith add guesthouses, craft cafes and holiday homes with stoeps and fireplaces. Bloemfontein has the widest range of showrooms, and tilers from there often cover the surrounding towns.
Typical ceramic tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: budget bedroom floors, bathroom walls and kitchen splashbacks in plenty of colours
- Landlords and body corporates: cost-effective tiles for flats and rooms that are easy to replace between tenants
