Homes and buildings in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a big, uneven city for tiling. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Melville, Observatory and Linden have original terrazzo, parquet and Marseille tile floors that owners want repaired or matched rather than ripped out. Inner city flats in Berea and Yeoville are usually re-tiled by landlords between tenants, while the northern suburbs lean towards large porcelain slabs and open plan living. Restaurants, offices and shops around Braamfontein and Fourways need hard wearing commercial floors laid over weekends. Summer storms and cold winter nights mean outdoor tiles should be frost resistant, and old screeds on mining ground sometimes crack, so ask the tiler to check the base first.
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
- Shops, offices and showrooms: feature floors in farm stalls, delis and coffee shops with a rustic look
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: terracotta for guesthouse courtyards, restaurant floors and lodge verandas
- 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
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: rarely used in clinics or schools because of porosity and cleaning needs
