Homes and buildings in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is hot and dry in summer, with sudden thunderstorms and cold, clear winter nights. Colonial-era sandstone and brick buildings in the town centre, along Murchison Street and around the town hall, often keep their original floors, so repairs and careful matching matter. Families in Ezakheni and Steadville add rooms and lay tiles as budgets allow, often with a local tiler on a day rate. Farmhouses and lodges toward Colenso and Van Reenen like slate, terracotta and cool stone floors. Shopping centres and clinics need easy-clean porcelain. Showrooms in town supply most tilers, and bigger orders are brought up from Pietermaritzburg or Durban.
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
- 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
- Landlords and body corporates: usually avoided indoors because of sealing, but fine for covered stoeps
