Homes and buildings in Free State
The Free State is maize country, with Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad, Bethlehem and Sasolburg as its main centres. Cold winters bring frost to open plains and the Maluti foothills, so outdoor floors need frost-resistant porcelain with proper movement joints. Farmhouses often have original clay or sandstone floors, and town houses in Bloemfontein carry decades of old vinyl and ceramic ready to be replaced. Goldfields towns and the Sasol area bring rental housing, workshops and clinics, while Clarens and Harrismith add guesthouses, craft cafes and holiday homes with stoeps and fireplaces. Bloemfontein has the widest range of showrooms, and tilers from there often cover the surrounding towns.
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
- New builds and extensions: terracotta ordered in one batch for farmhouse style houses and outdoor rooms
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: terracotta for guesthouse courtyards, restaurant floors and lodge verandas
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: not usually chosen, since oil and heavy traffic stain porous clay
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-rated terracotta for stoeps, courtyards and braai areas, sealed and sloped
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: rarely used in clinics or schools because of porosity and cleaning needs
- Shops, offices and showrooms: feature floors in farm stalls, delis and coffee shops with a rustic look
