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 mosaic tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a shower floor, a kitchen splashback or a feature wall in the bathroom
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: glass and stone mosaics for spa walls, bar fronts and bathroom feature panels
- Landlords and body corporates: a small mosaic splashback to lift a plain flat without much cost
- New builds and extensions: mosaic feature walls and shower floors specified from the plans and ordered once
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-rated porcelain and glass mosaic for pool edges, steps and outdoor showers
- Shops, offices and showrooms: mosaic panels behind counters and in entrances, in tougher porcelain or stone
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: small non-slip porcelain mosaics for ablution and shower floors in clinics
