Homes and buildings in Western Cape
The Western Cape has wet winters and hot dry summers, so stoeps, patios and entrances get slippery and need R11 tiles. Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and the Winelands are full of older homes with Oregon pine and original clay or cement floors, and owners often restore rather than replace them. New estates in Durbanville, Somerset West and along the Garden Route want large porcelain and wood-look finishes, while holiday homes in Hermanus and Knysna bring salt air and damp. Wine farms, guesthouses and restaurants tile tasting rooms and bathrooms, and apartments in the city centre are regularly re-tiled between tenants. Showrooms are concentrated in Cape Town and the northern suburbs.
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
- 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
- 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
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: hard-wearing outdoor paving for yards, entrances and garden areas at workplaces
