What to know locally in North West
Red mine dust around Rustenburg and Marikana settles on walls and roofs, so mid tones such as sand, clay and warm grey hide it better than bright white. Strong summer sun in Klerksdorp and Mahikeng fades cheap exterior paint, so a good acrylic is worth the higher price per tin. Farmers near Lichtenburg often use a rust inhibiting roof paint on corrugated sheds. At Hartbeespoort Dam, homes facing the water get damp morning air, and a mould resistant coat helps.
Painting in North West
North West is a province of platinum mining towns, maize and cattle farms and weekend homes around Hartbeespoort Dam. Rustenburg, Brits and Klerksdorp have large numbers of face brick homes, mine housing and steel sheds, and red dust from mining and dry winters stains light coloured walls. Potchefstroom has older houses and university buildings, Mahikeng has government offices and long established neighbourhoods, and farms across the west have corrugated roofs, silos and outbuildings that rust if they are left. Hot summers, strong sun and hail storms are hard on paint, and cold winter nights bring frost. Homeowners, farmers, mines and landlords renting to mine workers are the main clients.
Typical exterior paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a weather-proof coat for the house walls, boundary wall and garden walls
- Landlords and sellers: a hard-wearing neutral exterior that keeps a rental or sale property looking cared for
- Factories, farms and mines: factory, warehouse and farm building walls that face sun, dust and rain
