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 pool tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a new waterline band, a retile of an old faded pool, or fresh coping and paving
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: tiled water features and pool areas for gyms and recreation clubs
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: a full mosaic pool and a non-slip surround for a guesthouse, hotel or lodge
- New builds and extensions: pool tiling and surround paving planned with the pool builder and the garden
- Landlords and body corporates: a plain, durable waterline band and non-slip surround for a complex or holiday let
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: waterline tiles, coping and R12 pavers around a garden pool, with salt-proof grout
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: safe, non-slip tiling for school pools and therapy or hydrotherapy pools
- Shops, offices and showrooms: pool tiling for gyms, clubs and estates with a shared pool or water feature
