Durban notes on wall paint & coatings
Exterior paint in Durban has to cope with salt, sun and damp at once. Paint shops on Umgeni Road often suggest a premium acrylic with a fungicide for walls near the sea at North Beach or on the Bluff, and an elastomeric coat where hairline cracks let rain in. Light colours keep Berea facades cooler, and dark trims fade faster in the coastal sun. Low sheen suits humid bathrooms and kitchens in Glenwood flats.
Durban walls, roofs and weather
Durban's housing runs from the plastered Edwardian and Art Deco homes of the Berea and Glenwood to apartment blocks along the Golden Mile and in Umhlanga, brick homes in Chatsworth and Phoenix, and big face brick and plaster family houses in Westville. The subtropical climate is hard on paint. Salt air chalks and blisters coatings near the beachfront, warm humid months feed mould on south facing walls and under eaves, and summer storms drive rain into hairline cracks and through tired flat roofs. Exterior repaints, mould treatment and flat roof waterproofing are the most common requests. Homeowners, body corporates of beachfront blocks, landlords between tenants and shops along Florida Road all ask for painters and paint here.
Typical textured paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: hiding patched or uneven plaster on the house and boundary walls
- Body corporates and estates: one uniform textured finish across blocks, boundary walls and entrance features
- Landlords and sellers: a durable finish that hides knocks and old repairs between tenants
Local tips for Durban
Painting work and supplies in Durban mostly come from here: umgeni Road, Springfield Park, Jacobs, Mobeni and Westville, with painters city wide. The requests that come up most: exterior repaints with mould treatment and flat roof waterproofing before summer. When you ask for quotes, ask for a mould wash and a fungicidal coat on shaded south walls before any repaint.
Textured Paint usually suits rough, patched or crazed plaster walls, done like this: trowel, textured roller or hopper spray. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means hiding patched or uneven plaster on the house and boundary walls. On the weather side: paint in the drier winter months; summer humidity and storms slow drying and wash coats.
