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 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
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: guest rooms, bathrooms, dining areas and kitchens with non-slip, easy-clean floors
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-resistant, non-slip tiles for stoeps, patios, balconies and pool surrounds
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: heavy-duty floors for workshops and canteens, and rubber tiles for gyms and garages
- 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
- Landlords and body corporates: hard-wearing tiles between tenants, and repairs to cracked or popping tiles
