Bloemfontein notes on fitting & restoration
Sanding is a big part of work in Bloemfontein, with pine floors in Westdene and Waverley and glued parquet in houses from the sixties and seventies. A fitter will check whether loose blocks, old adhesive or shrinkage gaps need fixing before the sander arrives. Landlords near Brandwag often renew sealer between tenants. Dustless systems cost more and are quoted per job, so ask what the machine is and how it collects dust.
Bloemfontein: climate, homes and floors
Bloemfontein has proper winters. Frost is common on clear nights, the air is dry and cold, and indoor heating pulls moisture from boards, which then shrink and creak. Summer brings sharp afternoon storms. The city has a lot of older sandstone and brick homes on suspended pine floors, plus 1960s and 1970s houses with glued parquet. Students at the university and technical campuses fill rental houses and flats, which makes durable, easy-to-replace floors popular. Courts, schools, churches and offices keep contractors busy too. Sanding and sealing of old pine and parquet is a staple, and Bloemfontein is a hub that supplies fitters to smaller towns across the Free State.
