Homes and buildings in East London
East London enjoys a mild, humid coastal climate, with warm summers and frequent drizzle blowing in from the Indian Ocean. Beachfront flats at Nahoon and Gonubie, family homes in Beacon Bay and Vincent, and older houses in Selborne and Southernwood show a broad mix of floors, from original parquet and Marseille tiles to modern porcelain. Damp walls and grout mould are common complaints, so tilers stress good waterproofing in bathrooms. Mdantsane has many owners improving homes in stages, and Bhisho and Qonce add government and school work. Showrooms and tilers serve the whole metro, with specialist stone and imported tiles sometimes ordered through Gqeberha or Durban.
Typical porcelain tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: dense, easy-clean floors through the lounge, kitchen and bathrooms that last decades
- Landlords and body corporates: tough mid-range matt tiles that survive tenants and wipe clean between lets
- New builds and extensions: large format porcelain quoted from the plans and delivered to site in batches
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: low-absorption floors that resist cleaning chemicals in clinics and schools
- Shops, offices and showrooms: polished or lappato slabs for showrooms, shops and open-plan offices
