Homes and buildings in Gauteng

Gauteng is the biggest tile market in the country, from Johannesburg and Pretoria to the East Rand and Vaal. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Brooklyn and Waterkloof have parquet, terrazzo and original quarry tiles that owners want matched or replaced, while Fourways, Centurion and Midrand are full of new estates and complexes asking for large porcelain. Highveld frost and big day to night swings mean outdoor tiles must be frost-resistant and laid with movement joints, and summer storms soak patios. Landlords, body corporates and builders price in bulk, and shopping centres and offices re-tile after hours. Showrooms line the main roads in every metro, and tilers travel between them daily.

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
• Shops, offices and showrooms: mosaic panels behind counters and in entrances, in tougher porcelain or stone
• Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-rated porcelain and glass mosaic for pool edges, steps and outdoor showers
• Workshops, warehouses and gyms: porcelain mosaics for wash bays and ablutions where a grippy floor matters
• Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: glass and stone mosaics for spa walls, bar fronts and bathroom feature panels
• Schools, clinics and public buildings: small non-slip porcelain mosaics for ablution and shower floors in clinics
