Homes and buildings in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is vast, dry and sparsely settled, with Kimberley, Upington, Kathu, Springbok and Kuruman as the main centres. Dust, strong sun and large temperature swings between day and night shape tile choices, with dense porcelain holding up better than soft ceramic on exposed stoeps. Older farmhouses and Victorian homes in Kimberley often have stone, clay or timber floors that owners repair or cover. Mining towns around Kathu and Postmasburg need tiling for houses, hostels and offices, and Upington lodges and guesthouses serve the tourist trade. Distances are huge, so many customers order tiles from a supplier in a bigger town, and tilers combine trips to save on travel costs.
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
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: hard-wearing outdoor paving for yards, entrances and garden areas at workplaces
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: non-slip terraces, deck areas and pool paths at guesthouses and lodges
- New builds and extensions: patios, entrances and driveways-side paving quoted with the house from the plans
- Landlords and body corporates: tough non-slip tiles for communal stoeps and walkways that tenants cannot damage
- 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
