Homes and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene, and nearby Empangeni and Esikhaleni. Homes are mostly face-brick or plastered houses, townhouses and flats built since the 1970s. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain cause rust on gates and bars, mould, stained ceilings and leaking flat roofs. Termites are very active, and sandy coastal soils shift under paving and boundary walls. Typical jobs include waterproofing, painting, gutters, burglar bars, gate motors and garage door repairs. Load-shedding makes battery backup for gates a priority. Local merchants supply most materials, with extra stock coming from Durban.

Typical door installation requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: choosing doors and fittings that resist salt air, swelling and rust
- Suburban houses: hanging bedroom and bathroom doors, and fitting sliding doors onto the stoep
- Townhouses and security estates: replacing front doors and security gates within estate style rules
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fitting internal doors and locks in flats, with building rules on outside doors
- Township homes and extensions: fitting strong external doors, frames and security gates in new rooms
- Shops, offices and rentals: installing office doors, shopfront doors and sliding doors with commercial locks
