Homes and buildings in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is vast, dry and sparsely settled, with Kimberley, Upington, Kathu, Springbok and Kuruman as the main centres. Dust, strong sun and large temperature swings between day and night shape tile choices, with dense porcelain holding up better than soft ceramic on exposed stoeps. Older farmhouses and Victorian homes in Kimberley often have stone, clay or timber floors that owners repair or cover. Mining towns around Kathu and Postmasburg need tiling for houses, hostels and offices, and Upington lodges and guesthouses serve the tourist trade. Distances are huge, so many customers order tiles from a supplier in a bigger town, and tilers combine trips to save on travel costs.
Typical natural stone tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a stone entrance hall, a travertine lounge floor or a marble bathroom
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: rarely used, but granite is chosen for tough entrances and boardrooms
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: travertine and slate for lodge floors, reception areas and bathrooms
- 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
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: slate and sandstone for patios, stoeps and pool surrounds with good grip
