Homes and buildings in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein has cold, dry winters and hot summer storms, and its older suburbs are full of sandstone houses with original floors. Owners in Waverley and Westdene often want parquet, clay or old ceramic repaired or matched, while Langenhoven Park and Brandwag see kitchen and bathroom revamps with large porcelain. Student housing near the university and rental flats are retiled between leases. Hospitals, schools and the many government buildings need durable, slip-rated surfaces. Guest houses, restaurants and conference venues book floor refits in quieter months. Outdoor areas need frost-resistant tiles. Showrooms and tilers serve the city and reach Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu.
Typical terracotta tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a Cape style kitchen floor, a sunroom or a warm stoep off the lounge
- Landlords and body corporates: usually avoided indoors because of sealing, but fine for covered stoeps
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: rarely used in clinics or schools because of porosity and cleaning needs
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: terracotta for guesthouse courtyards, restaurant floors and lodge verandas
- Shops, offices and showrooms: feature floors in farm stalls, delis and coffee shops with a rustic look
- New builds and extensions: terracotta ordered in one batch for farmhouse style houses and outdoor rooms
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-rated terracotta for stoeps, courtyards and braai areas, sealed and sloped
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: not usually chosen, since oil and heavy traffic stain porous clay
