Homes and buildings in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, sits on a hot, dry plain behind Algoa Bay, with strong winds and sharp summer heat. The motor industry shapes the town, so factories, workshops and training centres need tough, easy-clean industrial floors. Houses in Despatch, Rosedale and the older streets around Market Street often have face brick walls and basic ceramic floors that owners upgrade with porcelain. KwaNobuhle has a lot of new RDP-style housing and extensions, usually tiled room by room. Cool tiles help during hot spells. Showrooms in town and in Gqeberha supply local tilers, and larger orders usually arrive from Gqeberha within a day or two.
Typical outdoor tiles requests in the area come from:
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: hard-wearing outdoor paving for yards, entrances and garden areas at workplaces
- Homeowners renovating: a new patio or stoep, a path to the braai, or a balcony floor that no longer drains
- New builds and extensions: patios, entrances and driveways-side paving quoted with the house from the plans
- Shops, offices and showrooms: entrance paving and outdoor seating areas at shops and coffee shops
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: slip-resistant ramps, walkways and covered areas at schools and clinics
- Landlords and body corporates: tough non-slip tiles for communal stoeps and walkways that tenants cannot damage
