Homes and buildings in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Kalahari, where summer heat is fierce and winters are short and dry. Tiled floors are the standard in homes and lodges because they stay cool, and light colours reflect the sun. Owners along the river, in Kakamas and Keimoes, tile covered patios, pool surrounds and outdoor kitchens, where non-slip finishes and heat tolerance matter. Packing houses for raisins, dates and grapes need hygienic, washable floors. Guesthouses and lodges want durable, natural-look tiles that handle sand and heavy foot traffic. Red sand finds its way in, so smooth grout lines clean more easily. Tilers work from Upington along the valley, with stock sometimes coming from Kimberley.
Typical porcelain tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: dense, easy-clean floors through the lounge, kitchen and bathrooms that last decades
- 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
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: full-body tiles for canteens, workshops and ablutions that take knocks
- New builds and extensions: large format porcelain quoted from the plans and delivered to site in batches
- Shops, offices and showrooms: polished or lappato slabs for showrooms, shops and open-plan offices
- Landlords and body corporates: tough mid-range matt tiles that survive tenants and wipe clean between lets
