Homes and buildings in Durban
Durban's warm, humid air and salty sea breeze shape every floor here. Along the Berea, Musgrave and the beachfront, older flats and homes often have terrazzo or tired vinyl that owners replace with porcelain. In Umhlanga, Morningside and Westville, new apartments and townhouses ask for large format tiles and covered patios. Grout stays damp and grows mould easily, so tilers talk about epoxy grout and good ventilation. Hotels, guesthouses and restaurants along the Golden Mile need hard-wearing, non-slip floors, and pool decks want R11 finishes. Showrooms and tilers work across the metro, with suppliers clustered in the southern and western industrial areas.
Typical tiling tools requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a cutter, trowel and spacers for a weekend bathroom or kitchen tiling job
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: trims and nosings that finish stair edges and shower rooms neatly
- Landlords and body corporates: a short saw hire and a few trims for a quick turnaround between tenants
- New builds and extensions: bulk spacers, clips and trims for builders tiling several rooms at once
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: thick diamond blades and spacers for patios, stoeps and paving
- Shops, offices and showrooms: levelling clips and diamond blades for large format floors in shops
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: durable trims and cove profiles for easy-clean corners in clinics
