What to know locally in Vanderbijlpark
Corrugated and IBR roofs in Vanderbijlpark are commonly coated with a metal primer and roof paint in red, green or charcoal. Dust from the steelworks and industrial area dulls pale walls, so a dirt resistant exterior acrylic in mid tones is popular in the SW and CE suburbs. In Bophelong and Sebokeng, textured paint covers patched plaster well and needs fewer coats to look even.
What gets painted in Vanderbijlpark
Vanderbijlpark was planned around its steelworks in the 1940s, and the plant still shapes the town. Homes in the CE, CW, SE and SW suburbs and in Vaalpark are mostly face brick and plaster with corrugated or IBR roofs, and Sebokeng, Bophelong and Boipatong have many smaller brick homes and RDP houses. The large industrial zone holds sheds, workshops and steel structures. Industrial dust, Highveld UV, summer hail and frosty winters all wear paint, and corrugated roofs rust where old coats have failed. Common jobs are roof painting, steel coatings, workshop floors and exterior repaints for factory managers, contractors, homeowners and landlords.
Typical paint colours requests in the area come from:
- Factories, farms and mines: light, reflective colours for factory walls and cooler colours for big roofs
- Homeowners: choosing outside and inside colours, with sample patches tested before buying tins
- Landlords and sellers: neutral colours that appeal to tenants and buyers and are easy to match
