Homes and buildings in Cape Town
Cape Town has wet winters, dry windy summers and salt air along the coast. Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, and old Cape homes in Claremont, often have Oregon pine boards or original clay and encaustic tiles that deserve careful repair. Atlantic Seaboard apartments and Southern Suburbs houses want large porcelain slabs, and wet stoeps and pool surrounds call for R11 non-slip finishes. Century City and Montague Gardens have offices, showrooms and warehouses needing hard-wearing floors. Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain add steady demand from owners tiling room by room. Showrooms and tilers work across the peninsula, and many specialise in stone and bathrooms.
Typical tile painting requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: refreshing dated bathroom walls or a kitchen splashback without retiling
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: painting wall tiles on covered stoeps, never in standing water
- New builds and extensions: a colour change on tiles that arrived in the wrong shade
- Landlords and body corporates: a cheap update for old tiles between tenants, without demolition mess
- Shops, offices and showrooms: fast colour changes on wall tiles in shop fronts and toilets
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: repainting guest bathroom walls and bar areas to match a new look
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: two-pack epoxy on canteen and ablution tiles that see heavy use
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: washable, water-resistant coatings on wall tiles in ablutions
