Homes and buildings in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a big, uneven city for tiling. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Melville, Observatory and Linden have original terrazzo, parquet and Marseille tile floors that owners want repaired or matched rather than ripped out. Inner city flats in Berea and Yeoville are usually re-tiled by landlords between tenants, while the northern suburbs lean towards large porcelain slabs and open plan living. Restaurants, offices and shops around Braamfontein and Fourways need hard wearing commercial floors laid over weekends. Summer storms and cold winter nights mean outdoor tiles should be frost resistant, and old screeds on mining ground sometimes crack, so ask the tiler to check the base first.
Typical tiling tools requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a cutter, trowel and spacers for a weekend bathroom or kitchen tiling job
- 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
- 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
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: durable trims and cove profiles for easy-clean corners in clinics
