Bloemfontein notes on wall paint & coatings
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.
Painting in Bloemfontein
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.
Who asks for roof paint around Bloemfontein, most often first:
- Homeowners: recoating a faded tiled or IBR roof before leaks and rust set in
- Schools, churches and public buildings: sealing school, church and clinic roofs, with any asbestos checked first
- Landlords and sellers: a clean, sealed roof that helps a rental or sale property show well
