Homes and buildings in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Kalahari, where summer heat is fierce and winters are short and dry. Tiled floors are the standard in homes and lodges because they stay cool, and light colours reflect the sun. Owners along the river, in Kakamas and Keimoes, tile covered patios, pool surrounds and outdoor kitchens, where non-slip finishes and heat tolerance matter. Packing houses for raisins, dates and grapes need hygienic, washable floors. Guesthouses and lodges want durable, natural-look tiles that handle sand and heavy foot traffic. Red sand finds its way in, so smooth grout lines clean more easily. Tilers work from Upington along the valley, with stock sometimes coming from Kimberley.
Typical natural stone tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a stone entrance hall, a travertine lounge floor or a marble bathroom
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: travertine and slate for lodge floors, reception areas and bathrooms
