Homes and buildings in Cape Town
Cape Town has wet winters, dry windy summers and salt air along the coast. Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, and old Cape homes in Claremont, often have Oregon pine boards or original clay and encaustic tiles that deserve careful repair. Atlantic Seaboard apartments and Southern Suburbs houses want large porcelain slabs, and wet stoeps and pool surrounds call for R11 non-slip finishes. Century City and Montague Gardens have offices, showrooms and warehouses needing hard-wearing floors. Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain add steady demand from owners tiling room by room. Showrooms and tilers work across the peninsula, and many specialise in stone and bathrooms.
Typical kitchen tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a new splashback behind the hob and sink, or a floor to match a kitchen update
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: tiled splashbacks and worktop surrounds for a built-in braai and outdoor kitchen
- New builds and extensions: kitchen walls and floors quoted with the rest of the house from the plans
- Landlords and body corporates: a plain, wipe-clean splashback and tough floor that a landlord can match later
- Shops, offices and showrooms: easy-clean tiled walls and floors for coffee shops, delis and staff kitchens
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: stain-resistant wall tiles and non-slip floors for guesthouse and restaurant kitchens
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: heavy-duty floors and wall tiling for canteens and food preparation rooms
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: washable wall tiles and slip-resistant floors for school and clinic kitchens
