Homes and buildings in Western Cape
The Western Cape has wet winters and hot dry summers, so stoeps, patios and entrances get slippery and need R11 tiles. Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and the Winelands are full of older homes with Oregon pine and original clay or cement floors, and owners often restore rather than replace them. New estates in Durbanville, Somerset West and along the Garden Route want large porcelain and wood-look finishes, while holiday homes in Hermanus and Knysna bring salt air and damp. Wine farms, guesthouses and restaurants tile tasting rooms and bathrooms, and apartments in the city centre are regularly re-tiled between tenants. Showrooms are concentrated in Cape Town and the northern suburbs.
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
- 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
- Shops, offices and showrooms: polished granite or marble for showrooms, banks and boutique entrances
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: hard granite and honed stone in church floors and public building entrances
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: rarely used, but granite is chosen for tough entrances and boardrooms
