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 tiling tools requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a cutter, trowel and spacers for a weekend bathroom or kitchen tiling job
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: thick diamond blades and spacers for patios, stoeps and paving
- New builds and extensions: bulk spacers, clips and trims for builders tiling several rooms at once
- Landlords and body corporates: a short saw hire and a few trims for a quick turnaround between tenants
- Shops, offices and showrooms: levelling clips and diamond blades for large format floors in shops
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: trims and nosings that finish stair edges and shower rooms neatly
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: heavy-duty blades and trims for thick floor tiles and tough edges
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: durable trims and cove profiles for easy-clean corners in clinics
