Newcastle notes on wall paint & coatings
Strong summer sun in Newcastle bleaches bold reds and blues on west walls, so many owners in Aviary Hill and Hutten Heights choose a quality exterior acrylic in earthy or neutral colours. IBR and corrugated roofs are usually coated with roof paint over a metal primer. In Madadeni and Osizweni, a 20 L tin of good exterior acrylic goes a long way on smaller brick homes with plastered fronts.
What gets painted in Newcastle
Newcastle in northern KwaZulu-Natal grew around its steelworks and later drew textile and clothing factories, so industrial sheds, workshops and factory floors make up a big share of painting work. Homes in Arbor Park, Signal Hill, Lennoxton and Aviary Hill are mostly face brick and plaster with tiled or IBR roofs, while Madadeni and Osizweni have many smaller brick homes and RDP houses. Summers are hot with afternoon thunderstorms and hail, and winters bring cold nights and frost. Paint fades and chalks on west facing walls, and steel roofs need rust treatment. Factory managers, homeowners, landlords renting to workers and schools ask for painters, roof coatings and epoxy floors.
The requests we see from Newcastle usually come from:
- Factories, farms and mines: primer and roof coat for large IBR sheds, warehouses and farm buildings
- Homeowners: recoating a faded tiled or IBR roof before leaks and rust set in
- Landlords and sellers: a clean, sealed roof that helps a rental or sale property show well
Local tips for Newcastle
Painting work and supplies in Newcastle mostly come from here: the CBD and Riverside industrial area, with painters serving Madadeni and Osizweni. The requests that come up most: factory roofs, steel and epoxy floors, plus exterior repaints of brick homes. When you ask for quotes, ask for a metal primer on any rust before the roof paint, not just a topcoat.
Around Newcastle the largest group asking is factories, farms and mines, which usually means primer and roof coat for large IBR sheds, warehouses and farm buildings. Before you agree to anything: clean, repair and prime before coating. Keep in mind: steel sheds and IBR roofs near the steelworks, face brick homes in Arbor Park.
