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 porcelain tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: dense, easy-clean floors through the lounge, kitchen and bathrooms that last decades
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: full-body tiles for canteens, workshops and ablutions that take knocks
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: full-body porcelain for lobbies, restaurants and guest bathrooms with heavy use
- 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
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-resistant matt porcelain for patios, stoeps and covered braai areas
- 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
