Homes and buildings in Cape Town
Cape Town has wet winters, dry windy summers and salt air along the coast. Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, and old Cape homes in Claremont, often have Oregon pine boards or original clay and encaustic tiles that deserve careful repair. Atlantic Seaboard apartments and Southern Suburbs houses want large porcelain slabs, and wet stoeps and pool surrounds call for R11 non-slip finishes. Century City and Montague Gardens have offices, showrooms and warehouses needing hard-wearing floors. Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain add steady demand from owners tiling room by room. Showrooms and tilers work across the peninsula, and many specialise in stone and bathrooms.
Typical porcelain tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: dense, easy-clean floors through the lounge, kitchen and bathrooms that last decades
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-resistant matt porcelain for patios, stoeps and covered braai areas
- New builds and extensions: large format porcelain quoted from the plans and delivered to site in batches
- Landlords and body corporates: tough mid-range matt tiles that survive tenants and wipe clean between lets
