Homes and buildings in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is vast, dry and sparsely settled, with Kimberley, Upington, Kathu, Springbok and Kuruman as the main centres. Dust, strong sun and large temperature swings between day and night shape tile choices, with dense porcelain holding up better than soft ceramic on exposed stoeps. Older farmhouses and Victorian homes in Kimberley often have stone, clay or timber floors that owners repair or cover. Mining towns around Kathu and Postmasburg need tiling for houses, hostels and offices, and Upington lodges and guesthouses serve the tourist trade. Distances are huge, so many customers order tiles from a supplier in a bigger town, and tilers combine trips to save on travel costs.
Typical tilers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a tiler for one bathroom, the kitchen or every floor in the house
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: tilers who handle heavy-duty adhesive, ablutions and canteen floors
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: night or off-season tiling for guest rooms, kitchens, bars and stoeps
- New builds and extensions: a tiling team that follows the plasterers and keeps pace with the builder
- Landlords and body corporates: quick, tidy floor and wall replacements between tenants at a fixed price per m²
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: tilers who build falls and movement joints for patios and pool surrounds
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: slip-resistant floors laid in phases so classrooms and clinics stay in use
- Shops, offices and showrooms: large format floors laid in short windows around trading hours
