Midrand notes on wall paint & coatings
Modern Midrand homes favour white, grey and charcoal schemes, often with textured finishes set by estate rules in Waterfall and Kyalami. Flat roofs and parapets on these homes need waterproof paint or a membrane rather than ordinary wall paint. For complexes, a sheen acrylic makes dirty walls easier to clean. Hairline cracks from settlement should be filled with a flexible filler before painting.
What gets painted in Midrand
Midrand is one of Gauteng's newest areas, built in waves since the 1980s. Its painting work centres on new and young estates, sectional title complexes and office parks. Waterfall, Carlswald and Kyalami have large estates with plastered homes, textured finishes and strict colour rules, while Vorna Valley, Noordwyk and Halfway House have many complexes now due for their first or second full repaint. Office parks and warehouses along the N1 corridor need commercial painting and floor coatings. Highveld hail and summer storms test roofs and parapets, and new plaster cracks as buildings settle. Developers, building contractors, body corporates and facilities managers ask for painters as often as homeowners.
Who asks for exterior paint around Midrand, most often first:
- Body corporates and estates: the same colour and grade across every block, ordered for the whole repaint
- Builders and developers: exterior acrylic and primer on new plaster, ordered per house or per phase
- Shops, offices and restaurants: shopfronts and office walls that stay clean and keep their colour longer
Local tips for Midrand
Most asked for in Midrand: first repaints of young complexes, new build painting and office park maintenance. Where painters and paint shops work from: contractors and suppliers in Midrand's industrial parks, Halfway House and Kyalami. A useful tip: ask the builder how long the plaster has cured before the painter starts.
Exterior Paint usually suits plastered and brick walls outside, done like this: two coats over primer, roller or spray. For body corporates and estates, the biggest group here, that usually means the same colour and grade across every block, ordered for the whole repaint. On the weather side: strong summer storms and hail; new plaster should cure before painting.
