Homes and weather in Western Cape
Western Cape homes are shaped by wet, windy winters and dry, hot summers. North-westerly storms drive rain into roofs, windows and walls, so waterproofing, gutters and damp treatment are common jobs. Along the coast, salt and wind rust gates and fittings. Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Paarl have many older and heritage homes, Cape Dutch and Victorian houses, plus flats, estates and townhouse complexes. Informal and township housing needs repair after winter storms. Summer heat dries timber, so painting and decks need attention. Hardware stores, tile and paint shops and builders' merchants are plentiful, 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
- 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
- Coastal homes: dense blocks, sealed timber and corrosion-resistant fixings for homes facing salt wind
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
- Township homes and extensions: blocks, cement and roofing sheets bought in stages as a room or extension grows
