Homes and weather in Durban
Durban is a warm, humid coastal city where houses face salt air, heavy summer rain and fast-growing mould. Homes range from Berea and Morningside flats and older bungalows to Umhlanga and Westville townhouses, with large township and informal areas inland. Salt rusts gates, burglar bars, window frames and roof screws, while damp and mould stain ceilings and walls. Flat roofs, balconies and parapets need regular waterproofing. Termites and borer attack timber, and storms can flood stoeps and blocked gutters. Typical jobs include repainting, waterproofing, gutters, security gates, tiling and garage door repairs. Hardware stores and merchants are spread across the metro and well stocked.
Typical burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: choosing aluminium or well-coated bars that resist salt rust and keep the sea view
- Suburban houses: fitting bars and security gates to windows and doors on freestanding homes
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fitting clear bars and security gates on ground-floor flats and balcony doors, subject to scheme rules
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting bars that follow complex style rules, with approval from the body corporate or HOA
- Township homes and extensions: fitting steel bars and security gates to windows and doors on small houses and backyard rooms
- Older and character homes: fitting bars that suit old timber or steel windows and repairing original ironwork
