What to know locally in Western Cape
Around the Atlantic Seaboard and False Bay, salt and wind call for a quality exterior acrylic and rust protection on steel. Old Cape Dutch walls in the Winelands may be lime plastered, so ask whether a lime wash suits them better than modern acrylic. The bright colours of the Bo-Kaap and the painted terraces of Woodstock show how bold colour works here. Parapets and flat roofs in Mitchells Plain and Bellville need waterproof paint before winter.
Western Cape walls, roofs and weather
The Western Cape paints to a winter rainfall calendar. In Cape Town and the Boland, wet winters drive rain into cracked plaster and through flat roofs, and the summer south-easter dries paint fast and carries dust and salt. Housing ranges from Cape Dutch homesteads in Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek to Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Observatory, face brick homes in the northern suburbs, complexes and estates around Durbanville and Somerset West, and large township areas on the Cape Flats. On the Garden Route around George and Knysna, rain falls in most months and mould is common. Homeowners, body corporates, wine farms and holiday home owners all request painters.
Who asks for exterior paint around Western Cape, most often first:
- Homeowners: a weather-proof coat for the house walls, boundary wall and garden walls
- Body corporates and estates: the same colour and grade across every block, ordered for the whole repaint
- Landlords and sellers: a hard-wearing neutral exterior that keeps a rental or sale property looking cared for
