Homes and buildings in Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape runs from the windy coast at Gqeberha, East London and Jeffreys Bay to the Karoo towns of Graaff-Reinet and the rural Transkei around Mthatha. Coastal homes face salt air, wind-blown sand and damp, so sealed grout and tough outdoor tiles matter. Gqeberha and East London have factories, older suburbs with parquet and terrazzo, and busy shopping centres, while Makhanda and Graaff-Reinet have Victorian and Karoo cottages with original clay and stone floors. Around Mthatha many homeowners improve houses step by step, often tiling one room at a time. Holiday homes at Port Alfred and Jeffreys Bay add patio and bathroom work. Tilers usually work from the two metros.
