Homes and buildings in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, sits on a hot, dry plain behind Algoa Bay, with strong winds and sharp summer heat. The motor industry shapes the town, so factories, workshops and training centres need tough, easy-clean industrial floors. Houses in Despatch, Rosedale and the older streets around Market Street often have face brick walls and basic ceramic floors that owners upgrade with porcelain. KwaNobuhle has a lot of new RDP-style housing and extensions, usually tiled room by room. Cool tiles help during hot spells. Showrooms in town and in Gqeberha supply local tilers, and larger orders usually arrive from Gqeberha within a day or two.
Typical floor tiles requests in the area come from:
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: heavy-duty floors for workshops and canteens, and rubber tiles for gyms and garages
- Homeowners renovating: a new floor through the living areas, a bathroom or kitchen revamp, or a patio for the braai
- New builds and extensions: tiles for the whole house quoted from the plans, with laying, skirting and trims
- Shops, offices and showrooms: large format porcelain or vinyl in shops, offices and showrooms, often laid after hours
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: slip-resistant, easy-clean floors and wall tiles for classrooms, clinics and ablutions
- Landlords and body corporates: hard-wearing tiles between tenants, and repairs to cracked or popping tiles
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-resistant, non-slip tiles for stoeps, patios, balconies and pool surrounds
