Homes and buildings in Gauteng

Gauteng is the biggest tile market in the country, from Johannesburg and Pretoria to the East Rand and Vaal. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Brooklyn and Waterkloof have parquet, terrazzo and original quarry tiles that owners want matched or replaced, while Fourways, Centurion and Midrand are full of new estates and complexes asking for large porcelain. Highveld frost and big day to night swings mean outdoor tiles must be frost-resistant and laid with movement joints, and summer storms soak patios. Landlords, body corporates and builders price in bulk, and shopping centres and offices re-tile after hours. Showrooms line the main roads in every metro, and tilers travel between them daily.

Typical ceramic tiles requests in the area come from:

• Homeowners renovating: budget bedroom floors, bathroom walls and kitchen splashbacks in plenty of colours
• New builds and extensions: affordable wall and floor tiles for houses and units priced in bulk from the plans
• Landlords and body corporates: cost-effective tiles for flats and rooms that are easy to replace between tenants
• Shops, offices and showrooms: wall cladding and light-traffic floors in offices, stockrooms and small shops
• Patios, stoeps and pool areas: better avoided in frost areas, with porcelain used on stoeps and patios
• Workshops, warehouses and gyms: wall tiles in canteens and washrooms, with tougher tiles kept for floors
• Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: glazed wall tiles for en-suites and guest bathrooms, with porcelain on busy floors
• Schools, clinics and public buildings: easy-wipe glazed wall tiles for clinics, ablutions and school toilets
