Homes and buildings in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from the windy coast at Gqeberha, East London and Jeffreys Bay to the Karoo towns of Graaff-Reinet and the rural Transkei around Mthatha. Coastal homes face salt air, wind-blown sand and damp, so sealed grout and tough outdoor tiles matter. Gqeberha and East London have factories, older suburbs with parquet and terrazzo, and busy shopping centres, while Makhanda and Graaff-Reinet have Victorian and Karoo cottages with original clay and stone floors. Around Mthatha many homeowners improve houses step by step, often tiling one room at a time. Holiday homes at Port Alfred and Jeffreys Bay add patio and bathroom work. Tilers usually work from the two metros.
Typical mosaic tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a shower floor, a kitchen splashback or a feature wall in the bathroom
- New builds and extensions: mosaic feature walls and shower floors specified from the plans and ordered once
- Landlords and body corporates: a small mosaic splashback to lift a plain flat without much cost
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: glass and stone mosaics for spa walls, bar fronts and bathroom feature panels
- Shops, offices and showrooms: mosaic panels behind counters and in entrances, in tougher porcelain or stone
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: porcelain mosaics for wash bays and ablutions where a grippy floor matters
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-rated porcelain and glass mosaic for pool edges, steps and outdoor showers
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: small non-slip porcelain mosaics for ablution and shower floors in clinics
