Richards Bay has a hot, humid coastal climate with salt in the air and strong summer rain. Homes in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood are mostly brick houses with tiled interiors, and many owners now swap old ceramic for porcelain with a stone or concrete look. Guesthouses and self-catering units catering to port and mining visitors want tiles that clean quickly. Empangeni and Esikhaleni have a steady mix of township upgrades, new houses and shops. The harbour, smelters and timber mills drive demand for heavy-duty industrial floors. Tile showrooms and tilers work from Richards Bay and Empangeni, with larger orders coming up from Durban.
