Ladysmith notes on wall paint & coatings
Hot sun in Ladysmith fades bright colours, so many owners in Acaciavale and Leonardsville pick lighter exterior shades and a UV resistant acrylic. Roof paint over a metal primer is the usual choice for corrugated roofs on older homes in the town centre. Textured paint is popular on rough plaster in Ezakheni because it hides patches and fills small cracks, and it holds up well in the dry winter wind.
Ladysmith walls, roofs and weather
Ladysmith sits on the Klip River below the Drakensberg foothills, a historic town with old sandstone and brick buildings in the centre, including the Town Hall from the late 1800s. Homes in Model Kloof, Hospital Hill, Leonardsville and Acaciavale are mostly brick and plaster with tin or tiled roofs, and Ezakheni and Steadville have many brick homes and RDP houses. The town is known for very hot summers with thunderstorms and hail, and cold, frosty winters. Paint chalks quickly in the heat, steel roofs rust where old coats have failed, and low lying areas near the Klip River have flooded in the past. Homeowners, landlords, schools, churches and factories ask for quotes.
The requests we see from Ladysmith usually 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
- Schools, churches and public buildings: tough washable paint in classrooms, wards, halls and church interiors
