Homes and buildings in Worcester
Worcester lies in the Breede River Valley, where summers are very hot and dry, and winters are cold, wet and frosty at night. Cool floors matter in summer, so many homeowners choose light porcelain or terracotta for living areas and shaded stoeps. Older Cape homes in the town centre have original clay and wooden floors, and farmhouses on the vineyard and orchard farms around Robertson and De Doorns favour stone and slate. Packhouses and cellars need washable, hard-wearing floors. Zwelethemba and Avian Park have steady extensions and upgrades. Tile showrooms in town supply local tilers, and larger or specialist orders usually come from Paarl or Cape Town.
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
- 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
- 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
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: rarely used in clinics or schools because of porosity and cleaning needs
