Homes and buildings in East London
East London enjoys a mild, humid coastal climate, with warm summers and frequent drizzle blowing in from the Indian Ocean. Beachfront flats at Nahoon and Gonubie, family homes in Beacon Bay and Vincent, and older houses in Selborne and Southernwood show a broad mix of floors, from original parquet and Marseille tiles to modern porcelain. Damp walls and grout mould are common complaints, so tilers stress good waterproofing in bathrooms. Mdantsane has many owners improving homes in stages, and Bhisho and Qonce add government and school work. Showrooms and tilers serve the whole metro, with specialist stone and imported tiles sometimes ordered through Gqeberha or Durban.
Typical floor tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a new floor through the living areas, a bathroom or kitchen revamp, or a patio for the braai
- Landlords and body corporates: hard-wearing tiles between tenants, and repairs to cracked or popping tiles
- New builds and extensions: tiles for the whole house quoted from the plans, with laying, skirting and trims
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: slip-resistant, easy-clean floors and wall tiles for classrooms, clinics and ablutions
- Shops, offices and showrooms: large format porcelain or vinyl in shops, offices and showrooms, often laid after hours
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: guest rooms, bathrooms, dining areas and kitchens with non-slip, easy-clean floors
