Homes and buildings in Worcester
Worcester lies in the Breede River Valley, where summers are very hot and dry, and winters are cold, wet and frosty at night. Cool floors matter in summer, so many homeowners choose light porcelain or terracotta for living areas and shaded stoeps. Older Cape homes in the town centre have original clay and wooden floors, and farmhouses on the vineyard and orchard farms around Robertson and De Doorns favour stone and slate. Packhouses and cellars need washable, hard-wearing floors. Zwelethemba and Avian Park have steady extensions and upgrades. Tile showrooms in town supply local tilers, and larger or specialist orders usually come from Paarl or Cape Town.
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
- 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
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: hard granite and honed stone in church floors and public building entrances
