What to know locally in Bloemfontein
Earthy, sandstone inspired colours suit many Bloemfontein homes, often with charcoal or red roofs. In the frosty winters, paint on a damp or poorly primed wall can lift, so ask for the right primer and dry weather. A UV resistant exterior acrylic helps in the summer sun. Flat roofs in Heidedal and the townhouse complexes need a waterproof coating or membrane with falls to the drains.
Bloemfontein walls, roofs and weather
Bloemfontein has a long history as the judicial capital, and its centre has many old sandstone buildings, churches and public offices that need careful cleaning and sealing rather than ordinary paint. Most homes are face brick or plastered brick with tiled or corrugated roofs, in suburbs such as Brandwag, Langenhoven Park and Bainsvlei, alongside large townships in Mangaung and Heidedal. The Highveld weather is hard on coatings: hot summers with thunderstorms and hail, and cold dry winters with frost that can crack paint on poorly prepared walls. Homeowners, body corporates, landlords with student flats, churches and government departments ask for painters, roof painting and waterproofing most.
Typical paint colours requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: choosing outside and inside colours, with sample patches tested before buying tins
- Schools, churches and public buildings: calm, durable colours for classrooms, wards and halls, chosen to hide wear
- Landlords and sellers: neutral colours that appeal to tenants and buyers and are easy to match
Local tips for Bloemfontein
Popular here: roof repairs and painting after hail, and sealing old sandstone and face brick. Ask each painter or supplier about this: ask for hail damaged tiles and sheets to be replaced before the roof is painted. Where they work from: painters and paint shops in the Bloemfontein CBD, the industrial areas and Brandwag.
Paint Colours usually suits inside and outside walls, trims and roofs, done like this: sample pots first, then tinted tins. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means choosing outside and inside colours, with sample patches tested before buying tins. On the weather side: summer storms and hail, frosty winter nights; avoid painting when it is near freezing.
