Benoni notes on wall paint & coatings

Inside, many owners in Northmead pick low sheen paint for passages and kitchens and matt for bedrooms, where it hides small flaws in old plaster.
What gets painted in Benoni
Benoni is known as the City of Lakes, with homes around Lake Benoni, Rynfield Dam and other pans, and old mine land between suburbs. Farrarmere, Northmead and Lakefield have many larger face brick and plastered family homes from the mid 20th century, while Rynfield and Crystal Park include newer complexes, with smallholdings further out. Daveyton has many brick homes. Damp near the lakes can lead to rising damp and mould, red dust blows off old dumps in winter, and Highveld hail hits roofs in summer. Requests are often for full exterior repaints, roof painting on old tiles, damp treatment and wood finishes on lakeside decks, from homeowners, landlords and complexes.
Typical interior paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: washable walls in the lounge, bedrooms and kitchen, with PVA on the ceilings
- Landlords and sellers: a durable colour that is easy to touch up and survives tenants and inspections
- Body corporates and estates: a standard interior colour for units and passages, kept on record for touch-ups
