Eastern Cape walls, roofs and weather
The Eastern Cape has some of the oldest buildings in the country and some of its windiest coastline. Settler cottages and churches in Makhanda and Port Alfred, Karoo townhouses in Graaff-Reinet and older homes in Gqeberha's Central and Walmer often carry many old layers of paint that need careful preparation. Along the coast from Jeffreys Bay to East London, salt wind and rain attack walls and steel, and Gqeberha's strong winds dry paint fast and blow grit onto wet coats. Inland, the Karoo is hot and dry with winter frost, and around Mthatha there are many rural homes, schools and clinics. Homeowners, landlords, factories and public buildings drive demand.
