Homes and buildings in Welkom
Welkom's wide streets and regular houses date from the goldfields boom, and many floors are now tired. Owners in Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs retile with large, easy-clean porcelain, often replacing carpet or worn vinyl. Mine houses, hostels and compounds in the goldfields need tough, affordable tiles laid in volume. Thabong and Virginia see steady tiling as homes are finished and extended. Farm homes on the surrounding maize and sunflower land ask for cool, hard-wearing floors, and guesthouses refresh rooms and stoeps. Winters bring frost, and summer heat is strong, so the same tile must cope with both. Tilers work locally, with Bloemfontein supplying specialist stock.
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
- 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
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: braai areas, pool surrounds, balconies and covered stoeps with R11 or R12 tiles
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: non-slip terraces, deck areas and pool paths at guesthouses and lodges
