What to know locally in Northern Cape
Under the Northern Cape sun, light colours and a quality UV resistant exterior acrylic make the biggest difference, especially on flat roofed houses in Upington and Springbok. A reflective roof paint can help keep homes cooler inside. Walls that crack with daily heat and cold swings in De Aar and Colesberg suit a flexible elastomeric coating. In Kathu and Postmasburg, red iron ore dust stains pale walls, so a mid toned sand or terracotta often wears better.
Northern Cape walls, roofs and weather
The Northern Cape is the largest province and one of the driest, and its sun and temperature swings are hard on paint. Summer days around Upington and Kakamas are very hot, winter nights in De Aar and the Karoo towns can freeze, and walls that expand and contract between the two open hairline cracks. Kimberley has Victorian houses with tin roofs and broekie lace from its diamond rush days, mining towns such as Kathu and Postmasburg have newer homes and red iron ore dust, and Namaqualand towns like Springbok have flat roofed houses in a dry, windy landscape. Distances are long, so homeowners, farmers, mines and municipalities plan painting work carefully.
Who asks for roof paint around Northern Cape, most often first:
- Homeowners: recoating a faded tiled or IBR roof before leaks and rust set in
- Factories, farms and mines: primer and roof coat for large IBR sheds, warehouses and farm buildings
- Schools, churches and public buildings: sealing school, church and clinic roofs, with any asbestos checked first
