Homes and buildings in Western Cape
The Western Cape has wet winters and hot dry summers, so stoeps, patios and entrances get slippery and need R11 tiles. Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and the Winelands are full of older homes with Oregon pine and original clay or cement floors, and owners often restore rather than replace them. New estates in Durbanville, Somerset West and along the Garden Route want large porcelain and wood-look finishes, while holiday homes in Hermanus and Knysna bring salt air and damp. Wine farms, guesthouses and restaurants tile tasting rooms and bathrooms, and apartments in the city centre are regularly re-tiled between tenants. Showrooms are concentrated in Cape Town and the northern suburbs.
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
- 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
- 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
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: heavy-duty blades and trims for thick floor tiles and tough edges
