Homes and buildings in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Kalahari, where summer heat is fierce and winters are short and dry. Tiled floors are the standard in homes and lodges because they stay cool, and light colours reflect the sun. Owners along the river, in Kakamas and Keimoes, tile covered patios, pool surrounds and outdoor kitchens, where non-slip finishes and heat tolerance matter. Packing houses for raisins, dates and grapes need hygienic, washable floors. Guesthouses and lodges want durable, natural-look tiles that handle sand and heavy foot traffic. Red sand finds its way in, so smooth grout lines clean more easily. Tilers work from Upington along the valley, with stock sometimes coming from Kimberley.
Typical ceramic tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: budget bedroom floors, bathroom walls and kitchen splashbacks in plenty of colours
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: glazed wall tiles for en-suites and guest bathrooms, with porcelain on busy floors
- 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
- New builds and extensions: affordable wall and floor tiles for houses and units priced in bulk from the plans
- Shops, offices and showrooms: wall cladding and light-traffic floors in offices, stockrooms and small shops
- Landlords and body corporates: cost-effective tiles for flats and rooms that are easy to replace between tenants
