Homes and buildings in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is a big, uneven city for tiling. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Melville, Observatory and Linden have original terrazzo, parquet and Marseille tile floors that owners want repaired or matched rather than ripped out. Inner city flats in Berea and Yeoville are usually re-tiled by landlords between tenants, while the northern suburbs lean towards large porcelain slabs and open plan living. Restaurants, offices and shops around Braamfontein and Fourways need hard wearing commercial floors laid over weekends. Summer storms and cold winter nights mean outdoor tiles should be frost resistant, and old screeds on mining ground sometimes crack, so ask the tiler to check the base first.

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
• 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
• 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
• Schools, clinics and public buildings: washable wall tiles and slip-resistant floors for school and clinic kitchens
