Germiston notes on decks, finishes & trims
Decks in Germiston are mostly on stoeps and patios of older homes in Primrose and Elsburg, and on the larger plots in Bedfordview just next door. Pine and balau both suit the local climate if sealed on all sides. Polishing and cleaning of interior floors in busy shops is quoted per job. Underlay and skirting are worth pricing together for flat conversions.
What lies underfoot in Germiston
Germiston grew around the railway and the gold reef, and the age of its streets shows underfoot. Inner suburbs such as Dinwiddie and Lambton have houses from the early to mid twentieth century, many with timber floors on suspended frames and some with later parquet laid over them. The industrial belt around Wadeville and Isando adds a steady stream of offices, showrooms and canteens that want hard-wearing floors fitted quickly. Highveld frost nights and dry winters make boards shrink, so refinishing is best done in the drier months. Bedfordview homeowners nearby often ask for engineered boards, and several specialist sanders cover the East Rand from here.
Typical composite decking requests in the area come from:
- Offices, practices and showrooms: a courtyard or entrance deck with slip-resistant boards that stay neat for years
- Homeowners: a patio or stoep deck that needs no oiling and stays tidy in full sun
- Shops, salons and cafés: an outdoor trading deck that is easy to hose down and resists fading
