eMalahleni notes on wall paint & coatings
Light colours show coal dust quickly, so many owners in Reyno Ridge and Tasbetpark pick mid greys, stone and earthy tones for outside walls and choose a washable low-sheen acrylic. Roof paint for corrugated and IBR sheeting needs a proper metal primer underneath, and walls facing the prevailing wind near Ogies stain first. Ask the paint shop for an exterior paint that resists dirt pick-up and can be hosed clean between repaints.
Painting in eMalahleni
Painting in eMalahleni means working in coal country. Fine coal dust settles on walls, gutters and window sills, and the air around the power stations and collieries can be acidic enough to dull paint and push rust through IBR and corrugated roofs faster than in Gauteng. Much of the housing is Highveld face brick with plastered extensions, alongside mine houses, RDP homes in KwaGuqa and newer complexes in Reyno Ridge and Del Judor. Summer hail cracks tiles and dents sheeting, and frosty winters slow drying. Homeowners ask for roof painting and exterior repaints, landlords repaint between mine contract tenants, and engineering firms in Ferrobank need steel primed and coated.
Typical waterproof paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: sealing parapets, a leaking flat stoep roof or cracked outside walls before winter rain
- Factories, farms and mines: coating box gutters, concrete roofs and tank stands on factories and farms
- Landlords and sellers: stopping roof and parapet leaks before they stain ceilings and tenants complain
