Wall paint & coatings in Free State: local notes
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.
Free State walls, roofs and weather
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 paint prices requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: comparing paint prices for a room or the whole house before buying tins
- Landlords and sellers: finding the best price per m² for a quick, durable repaint between tenants
- Factories, farms and mines: pricing large volumes of wall, roof and floor coatings for sheds and plants
