Homes and buildings in Durban
Durban's warm, humid air and salty sea breeze shape every floor here. Along the Berea, Musgrave and the beachfront, older flats and homes often have terrazzo or tired vinyl that owners replace with porcelain. In Umhlanga, Morningside and Westville, new apartments and townhouses ask for large format tiles and covered patios. Grout stays damp and grows mould easily, so tilers talk about epoxy grout and good ventilation. Hotels, guesthouses and restaurants along the Golden Mile need hard-wearing, non-slip floors, and pool decks want R11 finishes. Showrooms and tilers work across the metro, with suppliers clustered in the southern and western industrial areas.
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
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: stain-resistant wall tiles and non-slip floors for guesthouse and restaurant kitchens
- Landlords and body corporates: a plain, wipe-clean splashback and tough floor that a landlord can match later
- New builds and extensions: kitchen walls and floors quoted with the rest of the house from the plans
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: tiled splashbacks and worktop surrounds for a built-in braai and outdoor kitchen
- Shops, offices and showrooms: easy-clean tiled walls and floors for coffee shops, delis and staff kitchens
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: washable wall tiles and slip-resistant floors for school and clinic kitchens
