What to know locally in Brits
Homes near Hartbeespoort Dam benefit from a mould-resistant exterior acrylic on shaded walls, while houses in town mostly need a sun-resistant coat in a warm colour that hides red dust. Farm buildings toward Damonsville often get roof paint over metal primer. Textured coatings are popular on boundary walls in newer estates because they hide plaster flaws and wear well.
What gets painted in Brits
Brits is a farming, factory and mining town between the Magaliesberg and the platinum belt, with Hartbeespoort Dam close by. Its painting work is varied: older plastered and face brick homes in town, factory walls and steel in the industrial area, workers' housing near the mines at Mooinooi, and holiday homes, guesthouses and estates around the dam in Schoemansville. Summer brings heat, strong sun and storms, and red dust drifts in from the bushveld. Damp from the dam and the irrigation lands can cause mould on shaded walls. Homeowners ask for repaints, factories want floors and steel coated, and dam homes need waterproofing and timber care.
Typical interior paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: washable walls in the lounge, bedrooms and kitchen, with PVA on the ceilings
- Factories, farms and mines: washable acrylic for canteens, offices, change rooms and ablutions in factories
- Shops, offices and restaurants: scrubbable paint for offices, shops, restaurants and guest house rooms
