What to know locally in Mbombela
Choose an exterior acrylic with mould and algae resistance for shaded walls and anything near the Crocodile River valley. Lighter colours reflect heat and fade less, which is why many homes in West Acres and Steiltes stay white, cream or soft stone. Waterproof paint on parapet walls and a membrane system on flat roofs work best when applied in the dry months from May to August.
What gets painted in Mbombela
Mbombela sits in the Lowveld, where hot humid summers, heavy afternoon thunderstorms and strong sun are hard on paint. Mould and mildew grow on shaded walls and under eaves, damp creeps into north and south faces after the rains, and dark colours fade quickly in the heat. The housing ranges from plastered homes with wide verandas in Sonheuwel and West Acres to estates and complexes in Riverside and Steiltes, and growing family homes in KaNyamazane and Matsulu. Thatch lodges and guesthouses around White River and Hazyview ask for timber treatment and repaints. Waterproofing flat roofs and balconies before the rainy season is one of the most common requests.
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
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a hard-wearing outside finish for shopfronts, offices and guest houses
