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 wood-look tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a warm timber look through the lounge and bedrooms without sanding or varnishing
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: textured R11 planks for covered stoeps, decks and braai areas
- New builds and extensions: plank tiles for open-plan living, ordered from the plans in one batch
- Landlords and body corporates: scratch-proof plank floors that look good in photos and survive tenants and pets
- Shops, offices and showrooms: plank porcelain for boutiques, cafes and offices that want warmth and durability
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: a timber look for guest rooms, lounges and restaurants that cleans quickly
- Workshops, warehouses and gyms: rarely needed, though used in canteens and offices on industrial sites
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: hygienic, easy-wipe floors with a calm timber look for clinics and care homes
