Homes and buildings in Western Cape
The Western Cape has wet winters and hot dry summers, so stoeps, patios and entrances get slippery and need R11 tiles. Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and the Winelands are full of older homes with Oregon pine and original clay or cement floors, and owners often restore rather than replace them. New estates in Durbanville, Somerset West and along the Garden Route want large porcelain and wood-look finishes, while holiday homes in Hermanus and Knysna bring salt air and damp. Wine farms, guesthouses and restaurants tile tasting rooms and bathrooms, and apartments in the city centre are regularly re-tiled between tenants. Showrooms are concentrated in Cape Town and the northern suburbs.
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
- New builds and extensions: terracotta ordered in one batch for farmhouse style houses and outdoor rooms
- Landlords and body corporates: usually avoided indoors because of sealing, but fine for covered stoeps
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: frost-rated terracotta for stoeps, courtyards and braai areas, sealed and sloped
- Shops, offices and showrooms: feature floors in farm stalls, delis and coffee shops with a rustic look
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: rarely used in clinics or schools because of porosity and cleaning needs
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: not usually chosen, since oil and heavy traffic stain porous clay
