Homes and buildings in North West
North West is mostly farmland, mining towns and the growing centres of Rustenburg, Klerksdorp, Potchefstroom and Mahikeng. Hot summers with sudden thunderstorms and cold, dry winters with frost on open ground make hardwearing outdoor porcelain the sensible choice for stoeps and braai areas. Farmhouses often have old clay or screed floors under worn vinyl, and mine hostels, canteens and clinics need durable, easy-to-clean floors. Around Hartbeespoort and the Magaliesberg, weekend homes and guest lodges add patio and pool tiling work. Student landlords in Potchefstroom re-tile between years. Distances are long, so tilers quote travel, and bigger orders are usually delivered from showrooms in the larger towns.
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
- 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
- New builds and extensions: terracotta ordered in one batch for farmhouse style houses and outdoor rooms
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: terracotta for guesthouse courtyards, restaurant floors and lodge verandas
- 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
- Shops, offices and showrooms: feature floors in farm stalls, delis and coffee shops with a rustic look
