Homes and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town in the Kalahari edge, surrounded by iron ore and manganese operations. Homes are mostly newer face-brick houses, complexes, mine housing and rented units, with Sesheng and Dingleton nearby. Summers are fiercely hot, and the dry red sand and dust get into everything, wearing gate tracks, motors, roller doors and air conditioners. Rare but heavy thunderstorms test roofs and gutters, while cold winter nights can affect exposed plumbing. Landlords and letting agents need regular repairs, painting and turnaround work. Residents also ask for paving, carports, shade structures, fencing and security gates. Many materials come from local merchants, with bulk items delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
Typical waterproofing products requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: torch-on or liquid rubber for flat roof sections above garages, patios and extensions
- Townhouses and security estates: approved products for shared flat roofs, parapets and balconies maintained by the body corporate
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: balcony and shower waterproofing in small tins that suit limited spaces
- Township homes and extensions: roof sealants and bitumen coatings for sheets and flat slabs that leak in heavy rain
- Shops, offices and rentals: large-roll membranes and roof coatings for warehouse, shop and office flat roofs
- Farms and smallholdings: bulk bitumen and liquid rubber for shed roofs, water tanks and stoep slabs
