Stellenbosch notes on wall paint & coatings
Classic white walls with dark green, black or natural timber shutters are the look of the old town, and most owners keep to it. Walls under the oaks in central Stellenbosch and Idas Valley stay damp and grow mould, so ask for a mould wash and a mould resistant exterior paint. For student rentals, a scrubbable low sheen interior paint saves money at the next changeover.
Painting in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university town with one of the best known heritage centres in the country, and painting here is shaped by both. The oak lined streets of the old town, such as Dorp Street, have white gabled Cape Dutch and Georgian houses that are repainted with care, often in white with dark green or black shutters. Around them are many student houses and flats that need quick repaints between leases, plus wine estates, Technopark offices and new estates towards Jamestown. Winter rain and shade under the oaks bring damp and mould, while summer sun is strong. Landlords, heritage owners, estate managers and the university sector ask for painters most.
The requests we see from Stellenbosch usually come from:
- Landlords and sellers: neutral colours that appeal to tenants and buyers and are easy to match
- Homeowners: choosing outside and inside colours, with sample patches tested before buying tins
- Shops, offices and restaurants: colours that match the company's look across every branch, office and shopfront
