Homes and buildings in Welkom
Welkom's wide streets and regular houses date from the goldfields boom, and many floors are now tired. Owners in Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs retile with large, easy-clean porcelain, often replacing carpet or worn vinyl. Mine houses, hostels and compounds in the goldfields need tough, affordable tiles laid in volume. Thabong and Virginia see steady tiling as homes are finished and extended. Farm homes on the surrounding maize and sunflower land ask for cool, hard-wearing floors, and guesthouses refresh rooms and stoeps. Winters bring frost, and summer heat is strong, so the same tile must cope with both. Tilers work locally, with Bloemfontein supplying specialist stock.
Typical mosaic tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a shower floor, a kitchen splashback or a feature wall in the bathroom
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: porcelain mosaics for wash bays and ablutions where a grippy floor matters
- 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
- 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
