Homes and buildings in Kimberley
Kimberley is full of old tin-roofed houses, and many still have original clay, terrazzo or ceramic floors worth keeping. Owners of heritage homes around the Big Hole and in Belgravia often want careful repairs, matching tiles and sensitive restoration rather than a full rip-out. Guesthouses and hotels invest in elegant floors for guests, while schools, hospitals and government offices need durable, safe surfaces. In Galeshewe and Roodepan, residents lay affordable tiles as extensions are finished. Summers are hot and dry, with cold nights in winter, and fine dust works into every joint. Farmhouses nearby add stone or clay floor work. Tilers are few, so book early and ask about travel from Bloemfontein.
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
- 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
- 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
- New builds and extensions: terracotta ordered in one batch for farmhouse style houses and outdoor rooms
