Homes and buildings in Cape Town
Cape Town has wet winters, dry windy summers and salt air along the coast. Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, and old Cape homes in Claremont, often have Oregon pine boards or original clay and encaustic tiles that deserve careful repair. Atlantic Seaboard apartments and Southern Suburbs houses want large porcelain slabs, and wet stoeps and pool surrounds call for R11 non-slip finishes. Century City and Montague Gardens have offices, showrooms and warehouses needing hard-wearing floors. Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain add steady demand from owners tiling room by room. Showrooms and tilers work across the peninsula, and many specialise in stone and bathrooms.
Typical natural stone tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a stone entrance hall, a travertine lounge floor or a marble bathroom
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: slate and sandstone for patios, stoeps and pool surrounds with good grip
- New builds and extensions: stone floors and cladding specified from the plans and ordered as one batch
- Landlords and body corporates: durable slate or granite in entrances, usually only in higher end lets
- Shops, offices and showrooms: polished granite or marble for showrooms, banks and boutique entrances
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: travertine and slate for lodge floors, reception areas and bathrooms
