Homes and buildings in Western Cape
The Western Cape has wet winters and hot dry summers, so stoeps, patios and entrances get slippery and need R11 tiles. Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and the Winelands are full of older homes with Oregon pine and original clay or cement floors, and owners often restore rather than replace them. New estates in Durbanville, Somerset West and along the Garden Route want large porcelain and wood-look finishes, while holiday homes in Hermanus and Knysna bring salt air and damp. Wine farms, guesthouses and restaurants tile tasting rooms and bathrooms, and apartments in the city centre are regularly re-tiled between tenants. Showrooms are concentrated in Cape Town and the northern suburbs.
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
- 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
- Shops, offices and showrooms: polished or lappato slabs for showrooms, shops and open-plan offices
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: low-absorption floors that resist cleaning chemicals in clinics and schools
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: full-body tiles for canteens, workshops and ablutions that take knocks
