Homes and buildings in Free State
The Free State is maize country, with Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad, Bethlehem and Sasolburg as its main centres. Cold winters bring frost to open plains and the Maluti foothills, so outdoor floors need frost-resistant porcelain with proper movement joints. Farmhouses often have original clay or sandstone floors, and town houses in Bloemfontein carry decades of old vinyl and ceramic ready to be replaced. Goldfields towns and the Sasol area bring rental housing, workshops and clinics, while Clarens and Harrismith add guesthouses, craft cafes and holiday homes with stoeps and fireplaces. Bloemfontein has the widest range of showrooms, and tilers from there often cover the surrounding towns.
Typical outdoor tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a new patio or stoep, a path to the braai, or a balcony floor that no longer drains
- Landlords and body corporates: tough non-slip tiles for communal stoeps and walkways that tenants cannot damage
- New builds and extensions: patios, entrances and driveways-side paving quoted with the house from the plans
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: non-slip terraces, deck areas and pool paths at guesthouses and lodges
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: hard-wearing outdoor paving for yards, entrances and garden areas at workplaces
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: braai areas, pool surrounds, balconies and covered stoeps with R11 or R12 tiles
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: slip-resistant ramps, walkways and covered areas at schools and clinics
- Shops, offices and showrooms: entrance paving and outdoor seating areas at shops and coffee shops
