Homes and buildings in Welkom
Welkom's wide streets and regular houses date from the goldfields boom, and many floors are now tired. Owners in Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs retile with large, easy-clean porcelain, often replacing carpet or worn vinyl. Mine houses, hostels and compounds in the goldfields need tough, affordable tiles laid in volume. Thabong and Virginia see steady tiling as homes are finished and extended. Farm homes on the surrounding maize and sunflower land ask for cool, hard-wearing floors, and guesthouses refresh rooms and stoeps. Winters bring frost, and summer heat is strong, so the same tile must cope with both. Tilers work locally, with Bloemfontein supplying specialist stock.
Typical ceramic tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: budget bedroom floors, bathroom walls and kitchen splashbacks in plenty of colours
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: wall tiles in canteens and washrooms, with tougher tiles kept for floors
- Landlords and body corporates: cost-effective tiles for flats and rooms that are easy to replace between tenants
- New builds and extensions: affordable wall and floor tiles for houses and units priced in bulk from the plans
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: better avoided in frost areas, with porcelain used on stoeps and patios
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: glazed wall tiles for en-suites and guest bathrooms, with porcelain on busy floors
