Believe it or not, the very photogenic Espresso (yes, the dog 🐾) isn’t the star of the show here. That spotlight belongs to our Sunrise Screenblocks — proof that just a few well-placed details can completely shift the atmosphere.

It’s giving long lunches, thatched lighting, and somewhere warm by the Med.

 

 

Klay is proud to have supplied our Maxis — via RMD — for The Tropicana in Sea Point, a bold landmark on Cape Town’s skyline.

Drenched in pink and blue and shaped by strong Art Deco lines, it’s a vibrant nod to Miami modernism, revived with flair for the Atlantic Seaboard.

Developed by @signaturasa and brought to life by Robert Silke & Partners, The Tropicana blends rich local history with the glamour of a full-service apartment hotel.

Our Square Series brings a quiet sense of order to screened walls — where clean lines meet barely-there geometrics, and a touch of playfulness sits just beneath the surface.

With heights ranging from 150mm to 200mm, the series moves effortlessly between compact design moments and bold, rhythmic installations.

Swipe to the final slide for a closer look at the Square Corner Series — the perfect detail to finish your edges with clean, linear intent.

Screen blocks are the perfect solution for creating separation between spaces. They offer a strong visual feature while maintaining a clean, minimalist design.

Whether indoors or out, they bring structure without overwhelming the space.

Herringbone is a striking, geometric design option for clay flooring. Thanks to its natural hues and tones, it adds dimension while remaining a low-maintenance outdoor flooring option. These tiles helped our client achieve the full red clay paver look, without the need to strip down existing concrete flooring.

The intricate texture of our screen blocks is created through a fine wire cutting process before firing.

This subtle detail brings depth and character to every piece, making each block a quiet feature in any design.

The Puzzle, one of our very first screen block designs, started off as a quiet contender, mainly used to refresh existing façades. Over time, it has found a new wave of appreciation.

Safe to say, we’re glad to see it making a comeback and finding a home with a whole new generation of clients.

Hey Siri, play Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.

It’s hard to believe this velvety hue came from natural clay. We’ve pushed beyond classic terracotta to explore deeper, moodier tones. Cape Thin Brick in Espresso is just one way we’re evolving the clay conversation.

Explore more of this shade (and others) on our site. You just might find your next favourite blend.

The Flower has long been a favourite Screen block design — and for good reason.

Seen at the iconic Costa Brava apartment block in Sea Point, this timeless façade continues to complement today’s modern architecture along the Atlantic Seaboard.

Proof that thoughtful design never goes out of style.

Cola-glazed Klompie Tiles paired with textured terracotta bring depth and drama to this bathroom at Weylandts Castle Gate. The rich, moody tones and natural feel turn a functional space into a statement.

Forget ordinary tiles—this is texture, warmth, and a bold design choice.

The Satin FBX brick brings a refined, contemporary edge to any space. Its smooth finish and precise form offer a sleek contrast to the raw strength of fired clay, balancing sophistication with durability. Whether used for bold facades or understated interiors, this brick delivers a timeless foundation for inspired design.

Thoughtful design, considered in every detail.

At Weylandts Castle Gate, the interplay of Rectangle Single Pane Screen Blocks and Roman Linear Bricks in rich terracotta transforms rigid lines into a design with depth and movement.

The contrast of openwork and solid form adds texture, warmth, and a dynamic rhythm to the space.

Why Klay?

The Lattice Screen Block in Latte balances softness and strength—its warm, muted tone brings a sense of calm, while the durability of fired clay ensures lasting impact. A design statement that defines spaces with light, shadow, and airflow.
Subtle in colour. Solid in purpose.

Warmth, texture, and timeless character, no paint required.

At Hotel 224, Earthworks Architects & Interiors turned to Klompie tiles for wall cladding, bringing depth and richness with their natural terracotta blend. The result? A surface that tells a story—without the maintenance of painted or plastered walls.

Building character shouldn’t mean extra effort.

Why choose purpose-made angled bricks? They let you create striking features without the hassle of strategically placing bricks at an angle. No complex cuts, no guesswork just effortless design with a bold edge.

Sharp cuts and messy joints? Not anymore.

Why choose Espresso returns? They create a seamless finish on corners and stairways — no labour-intensive cutting, no wasted time. Just a refined, natural look that flows effortlessly. Because great design shouldn’t come with extra work.

Profurn Contracts truly knocked it out of the park with this project, even the dog agrees!

The client chose our Klompie Tiles 230 in the colour Chai, and they couldn’t have made a better choice. The tiles blend so perfectly, it’s as if they’ve always been there!

House Inyati wanted a wall to separate two spaces while keeping a 'see-through' feel, and we must admit—seeing the product painted in this stunning black was truly striking.
