Offices, hotels and restaurants near the towers want durable floors fitted overnight or over weekends. The climate is typical Highveld: dry winters, summer storms, cold mornings. Premium engineered boards, wide planks and high-quality restoration are asked for more than basic laminate, and fitters often travel from the wider northern suburbs.
