What to know locally in Pinetown
With more rain and mist than the coast, Pinetown walls need paint that breathes and resists algae. Paint shops in Pinetown central and New Germany often point homeowners to an exterior acrylic with a fungicide, and to a breathable sealer on older plaster in Sarnia and Escombe. Earthy greens, creams and soft greys suit the wooded hills of Kloof, and a low sheen interior paint wipes clean in homes kept closed through wet spells.
Painting in Pinetown
Pinetown sits inland of Durban on the way up to the Upper Highway, and it catches more rain and mist than the beachfront. Many homes in Pinetown, Cowies Hill, Kloof and Queensburgh are older brick and plaster houses with tiled or corrugated roofs, big eaves and timber windows, while New Germany and Westmead hold factories and warehouses with wide steel roofs. Wet summers keep shaded walls damp, so mould, algae and peeling paint on south sides are common, and old flat roofs over garages and stoeps tend to leak. Requests are often for exterior repaints with proper prep, gutters and fascias, timber trims and factory roofs, from homeowners, landlords and plant managers in the industrial parks.
Who asks for textured paint around Pinetown, most often first:
- Homeowners: hiding patched or uneven plaster on the house and boundary walls
- Landlords and sellers: a durable finish that hides knocks and old repairs between tenants
- Factories, farms and mines: a weather-resistant coat over rough blockwork on sheds and workshops
