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 wood-look tiles requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a warm timber look through the lounge and bedrooms without sanding or varnishing
- Landlords and body corporates: scratch-proof plank floors that look good in photos and survive tenants and pets
- New builds and extensions: plank tiles for open-plan living, ordered from the plans in one batch
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: hygienic, easy-wipe floors with a calm timber look for clinics and care homes
- 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
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: textured R11 planks for covered stoeps, decks and braai areas
