Homes and buildings in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga splits into a warm, humid Lowveld around Mbombela, White River and Hazyview and a cooler Highveld towards eMalahleni and Ermelo. In the Lowveld, lodges, guesthouses and holiday homes lean on cool tiled floors, big covered patios and pool surrounds, and humidity encourages mould in grout on shaded verandas. Mining and power towns such as Secunda and Middelburg bring new housing, hostels, canteens and clinics, while the Highveld side sees frost and needs tougher outdoor tiles. Citrus and subtropical farms often tile packhouse offices and farmhouses. Suppliers sit in Mbombela and eMalahleni, so remote lodges should order early and add extra tiles for breakage.
Typical terracotta tiles requests in the area come from:
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: terracotta for guesthouse courtyards, restaurant floors and lodge verandas
- 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
- 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
- Landlords and body corporates: usually avoided indoors because of sealing, but fine for covered stoeps
- 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
