Homes and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town in the Kalahari edge, surrounded by iron ore and manganese operations. Homes are mostly newer face-brick houses, complexes, mine housing and rented units, with Sesheng and Dingleton nearby. Summers are fiercely hot, and the dry red sand and dust get into everything, wearing gate tracks, motors, roller doors and air conditioners. Rare but heavy thunderstorms test roofs and gutters, while cold winter nights can affect exposed plumbing. Landlords and letting agents need regular repairs, painting and turnaround work. Residents also ask for paving, carports, shade structures, fencing and security gates. Many materials come from local merchants, with bulk items delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
Typical tiling requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: retiling bathrooms and kitchens, and laying stoep or braai-area tiles outside
- Townhouses and security estates: replacing worn floor tiles in townhouses while keeping noise and mess within estate rules
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: tiling small bathrooms and balconies with proper waterproofing under the tiles
- Township homes and extensions: laying durable floor tiles over concrete in new rooms and extensions
- Shops, offices and rentals: laying hard-wearing floor tiles in shops, restaurants and office entrances
- Farms and smallholdings: tiling large kitchens, mud rooms and stoeps with hard-wearing floor tiles
