Homes and buildings in East London
East London enjoys a mild, humid coastal climate, with warm summers and frequent drizzle blowing in from the Indian Ocean. Beachfront flats at Nahoon and Gonubie, family homes in Beacon Bay and Vincent, and older houses in Selborne and Southernwood show a broad mix of floors, from original parquet and Marseille tiles to modern porcelain. Damp walls and grout mould are common complaints, so tilers stress good waterproofing in bathrooms. Mdantsane has many owners improving homes in stages, and Bhisho and Qonce add government and school work. Showrooms and tilers serve the whole metro, with specialist stone and imported tiles sometimes ordered through Gqeberha or Durban.
Typical vinyl flooring requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a quiet, warm floor for bedrooms and living areas without lifting the old tiles
- Landlords and body corporates: click planks that landlords can lift and replace between tenants
- New builds and extensions: quick floors for upper storeys and extensions once the screed has dried
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: welded sheet vinyl for clinics and classrooms that is easy to clean
- Shops, offices and showrooms: commercial grade planks with a thick wear layer for shops and offices
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: quiet guest room floors that go in fast between seasons
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: rarely suited, so ask about porcelain or pavers for covered stoeps instead
