Homes and buildings in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg sits in a warm basin in the Midlands, with hot summers and cool, dry winters that can bring frost on higher ground. The older suburbs of Scottsville, Clarendon and Hayfields have Victorian and Edwardian houses with original wooden floors and encaustic hall tiles that owners like to repair rather than rip out. Student flats near the university and the city centre need cheap, durable tiling between intakes. Lodges, wedding venues and guest farms toward Howick and Hilton want natural stone and slate. Mkondeni and Willowton have workshops and showrooms, and tilers usually work from the city or travel in from 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
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: full-body porcelain for lobbies, restaurants and guest bathrooms with heavy use
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-resistant matt porcelain for patios, stoeps and covered braai areas
- Shops, offices and showrooms: polished or lappato slabs for showrooms, shops and open-plan offices
- New builds and extensions: large format porcelain quoted from the plans and delivered to site in batches
