Homes and weather in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has a humid, warm climate, with salt air along the coast and heavy summer rain. Around Durban, Umhlanga and Richards Bay, salt and humidity corrode gates, burglar bars and fittings, and damp causes peeling paint, mould and rotting timber. Inland near Pietermaritzburg and Newcastle, storms and hail damage roofs, while termites attack timber across the province. Housing includes coastal flats, suburban brick homes, townhouse complexes, older heritage houses and many township and rural homes. Hardware stores, paint shops and builders' merchants serve all the main towns, and delivery is widely available.
Typical building supplies requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: bricks, cement and sand for a new boundary wall, braai area or garage extension
- Coastal homes: dense blocks, sealed timber and corrosion-resistant fixings for homes facing salt wind
- Townhouses and security estates: small loads of matching bricks and plaster for repairs the body corporate has approved
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: light bags of cement, filler and boards that can be carried up to a flat
- Township homes and extensions: blocks, cement and roofing sheets bought in stages as a room or extension grows
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
