Kitchens
Kitchens planned around how you cook, store and gather.
Flooring
Carpets, timber, laminate, porcelain tiles and exotic tile and stone, specified as part of the whole room.
Overview
Flooring runs through the whole home, so it shapes everything else. We help you choose a floor that suits the room, the climate and the way your household lives.
We offer a wide range of flooring: carpets, wood, laminated flooring, porcelain tiles, and exotic tile and stone designs. Each has its place, and we'll explain the practical differences as well as the aesthetic ones.
We also look at floor space itself: opening up a layout to bring in more natural light and air, and making rooms work better for modern living.
Sand, humidity and heat are part of coastal living in Richards Bay. We'll steer you towards flooring that copes well with all three.
Comparing flooring materials
Every material has a place. These are the practical differences we talk through with clients.
Carpet
- Bedrooms, lounges
- Regular vacuuming, periodic deep clean
- Keep away from doors to the pool or beach
Wood and engineered timber
- Living areas
- Sweep and damp-mop; can be refinished
- Needs to acclimatise; avoid standing water
Laminate
- Living areas on a tighter budget
- Sweep; wipe spills promptly
- Choose a water-resistant product in humid rooms
Porcelain tile
- Kitchens, bathrooms, patios
- Easy to clean; look after the grout
- Copes very well with sand and moisture
Exotic tile and stone
- Statement spaces
- Natural stone needs periodic sealing
- Durable when properly sealed
Installation scope, including any subfloor preparation, is confirmed in your quotation after we have seen the space.

Questions
Which flooring works best near the coast?
Porcelain tile and stone cope very well with sand and humidity. Good-quality laminate and engineered timber can work too, with the right underlay and care. We'll recommend options for each room.
Can you match flooring across an open-plan space?
Yes. Continuous flooring is one of the simplest ways to make an open-plan home feel larger and calmer.
