Tzaneen notes on floors & boards
In Tzaneen, humidity decides what lasts. Wood-look tiles and vinyl are popular in kitchens, bathrooms and covered stoeps, while real timber suits drier rooms if the boards have been left to settle first. In Politsi and the orchard estates around Letsitele, people often compare solid boards with engineered ones, since engineered boards tend to move less. Ask the supplier how they store stock, because boards kept in damp yards cause trouble later.
Floors and homes in Tzaneen
Tzaneen is the damp end of Limpopo. The Lowveld around the town is warm and humid with heavy summer rain, and the hills of Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof above it are cooler and often misty. Boards here take up moisture more easily than on the dry plateau, and mould, borer and termites are all worth planning for. Housing ranges from town homes and farmhouses on avocado and mango estates to lodges and holiday cottages in the forests. Because the area is so spread out, floor layers often cover long distances between orchards and towns. Give timber extra time to settle, and ask how the fitter handles damp-prone rooms.
The requests we see from Tzaneen usually come from:
- Homeowners: wide oak boards through living and dining areas, with the warmth of real timber
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: oak or smoked oak floors for lodges, restaurants and guest suites that need character
- Landlords and letting agents: a real timber floor for a premium let, that can be refreshed between tenants
