Homes and buildings in Gauteng
Gauteng is the biggest tile market in the country, from Johannesburg and Pretoria to the East Rand and Vaal. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Brooklyn and Waterkloof have parquet, terrazzo and original quarry tiles that owners want matched or replaced, while Fourways, Centurion and Midrand are full of new estates and complexes asking for large porcelain. Highveld frost and big day to night swings mean outdoor tiles must be frost-resistant and laid with movement joints, and summer storms soak patios. Landlords, body corporates and builders price in bulk, and shopping centres and offices re-tile after hours. Showrooms line the main roads in every metro, and tilers travel between them daily.
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
- New builds and extensions: terracotta ordered in one batch for farmhouse style houses and outdoor rooms
- Landlords and body corporates: usually avoided indoors because of sealing, but fine for covered stoeps
- Shops, offices and showrooms: feature floors in farm stalls, delis and coffee shops with a rustic look
- 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
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: terracotta for guesthouse courtyards, restaurant floors and lodge verandas
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: rarely used in clinics or schools because of porosity and cleaning needs
