On the Atlantic Seaboard, the view does a lot of the work. But inside, in apartments and homes from Mouille Point to Hout Bay, the walls still have to measure up. Inslit applies feature wall finishes by hand in Green Point, Sea Point, Fresnaye, Bantry Bay, Clifton, Camps Bay, Bakoven and Hout Bay, for owners, landlords, designers and hospitality businesses.
Working with apartments and body corporates
A large share of homes along Beach Road and the Sea Point promenade are apartments, and that brings practical questions most other areas do not. Is there a lift, or will materials go up the stairs? Where can we park while we work? Does the body corporate need notice before contractors come in, and are there set working hours? We are used to these arrangements. Let us know your building’s rules when you ask for a quote and we will plan the job around them, keep the common areas clean and keep noise and disruption low.
For apartments, a single Pandomo wall behind the bed or along the lounge is a popular choice. It gives a seamless, calm surface that sits well with sea light and a minimal interior. In smaller bathrooms, a stucco finish adds texture and warmth without the weight and grout lines of tiles.
Salt air and sea light
Living close to the ocean is wonderful, but salt in the air is hard on exterior finishes and metal, and strong reflected light shows up every flaw on an interior wall. For interiors, we take extra care with preparation so the finished wall looks smooth from every angle, even with low afternoon sun streaming across it. For exteriors, boundary walls and roofs, we prepare surfaces thoroughly and use coatings meant for coastal conditions. Our painting page has more on exterior and boundary wall work.
Holiday rentals, guest houses and restaurants
The Atlantic Seaboard has many short-stay apartments, guest houses and restaurants where a room has to look good in photos and survive a lot of use. Granite-look finishes are a smart choice for busy walls and reception areas because they hide marks and wipe clean. For bars and entertainment spaces, special-effect finishes, including glow-in-the-dark products, create a talking point after dark. If you manage a rental, we can schedule work between bookings.
Floors to match
A seamless floor pairs naturally with a seamless wall. Many Atlantic Seaboard renovations combine a Pandomo or stucco wall with a polished or screed floor for a clean, gallery-like feel that suits the light. Ask about both when you request your quote and we can plan them together.
