Homes and buildings in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university town, so landlords and body corporates drive much of the tiling. Student flats and houses in Baillie Park, Van der Hoff Park and near the campus are retiled between years with hard-wearing, easy-to-mop tiles that hide scuffs. The historic centre has older homes with sandstone, timber floors and original tiles, where owners want repairs or careful matching. Farmland around town brings farmhouse kitchens and stoeps, and guesthouses and wedding venues invest in elegant floors and outdoor areas. Winters bring frost on the Highveld, and summers are warm, so porcelain suits both. Tilers work locally, with Klerksdorp and Johannesburg suppliers for specialist stock.
Typical terracotta tiles requests in the area come from:
- Landlords and body corporates: usually avoided indoors because of sealing, but fine for covered stoeps
- 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
- 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
- Shops, offices and showrooms: feature floors in farm stalls, delis and coffee shops with a rustic look
