Randfontein notes on wall paint & coatings
On the West Rand, exterior paint has to handle hard UV and hail, so many owners in Greenhills and Helikon Park use a quality exterior acrylic and lighter colours that fade less. Roof paint in red, green or charcoal is popular on old mine houses with corrugated roofs in Randgate. Textured paint is common on rough walls in Mohlakeng because it hides patched plaster and small cracks.
What gets painted in Randfontein
Randfontein is a West Rand mining town, and much of its housing was built for mine workers and the families who served them. Old mine houses with tin roofs, face brick homes in Greenhills and Randgate, smaller brick houses in Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus, and newer estates on the edges make up most of the work. Highveld weather is harsh on paint: strong UV fades colour, summer storms bring hail that dents and strips roof coatings, and winter frost and dry winds crack old paint. Pale dust from the mine dumps settles on walls. Requests are usually for roof painting, exterior repaints and crack repairs, from homeowners, landlords, schools and businesses in the town centre.
The requests we see from Randfontein usually come from:
- 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
- Schools, churches and public buildings: tough textured coats on school, church and municipal boundary walls
