Homes and buildings in Newcastle
Newcastle lies in the northern KwaZulu-Natal Highveld, where summers are warm and storm-heavy and winter nights get cold with regular frost. That makes frost-resistant porcelain the safe choice for stoeps and driveways. Older brick houses in Arbor Park, Lennoxton and Fernwood often have worn terrazzo or ceramic that owners replace when they renovate. Madadeni, Osizweni and Blaauwbosch see steady house extensions and upgrades, often done in stages. The steel and textile industries support workshops and offices that need hard-wearing floors, and the small hotels and guesthouses along the N11 refresh their rooms between busy seasons. Most tilers and tile suppliers work from the town centre.
Typical natural stone tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a stone entrance hall, a travertine lounge floor or a marble bathroom
- New builds and extensions: stone floors and cladding specified from the plans and ordered as one batch
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: rarely used, but granite is chosen for tough entrances and boardrooms
- 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
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: slate and sandstone for patios, stoeps and pool surrounds with good grip
- Landlords and body corporates: durable slate or granite in entrances, usually only in higher end lets
