What to know locally in Free State
Hard Free State frost and hot summer sun mean exterior paint must handle large swings, and a flexible acrylic suits plastered walls in Kroonstad and Welkom. On sandstone in Ficksburg or Clarens, ask a specialist whether a clear breathable sealer or nothing at all is right. Roof paint on corrugated farm roofs near Bethlehem and Harrismith needs a metal primer on any rust. Warm neutral colours sit well beside sandstone and the golden grassland of the eastern Free State.
Painting in Free State
The Free State is known for its sandstone. Old public buildings in Bloemfontein, many homes in the eastern towns of Bethlehem, Ficksburg and Clarens and plenty of farmhouses are built with it, and painting near it needs care, because sandstone is usually best left unpainted or treated only with breathable products. Elsewhere the stock is face brick and plastered homes, mining town housing around Welkom and Virginia, and industrial plants in Sasolburg. Winters are cold with hard frost, summers bring storms and hail, and dry spring winds carry dust. Homeowners, landlords near the goldfields, farmers with sheds and silos, and municipalities and schools ask for painters and paint.
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
- Factories, farms and mines: washable acrylic for canteens, offices, change rooms and ablutions in factories
