What to know locally in Benoni
Decks are what Benoni is known for, particularly near the lake and on the bigger plots of Rynfield and Putfontein. Balau and garapa handle sun and storms well, while treated pine is cheaper and suits garden platforms. Composite is an option for low upkeep around a pool. Posts in the ground need H4 treatment, and a builder should show you how water drains off the boards.
Floors and homes in Benoni
Benoni is the lake town of the East Rand, and the water shapes the housing. Rynfield, Northmead and Lakefield have large older stands, spacious stoeps and gardens, and homes of different ages, from timber-floored houses to later slab-built ones. Summer storms bring rain that can blow onto exposed stoeps and decks, while dry winters shrink interior timber. Smallholdings towards Putfontein often have farm-style homes with big lounges and pine ceilings that suit matching wooden floors. Requests lean towards outdoor timber, braai decks, and sanding old pine or kiaat. Fitters and deck builders here are used to working on larger plots with long driveways and mature trees.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
- Homeowners: foam with a membrane under click floors on ground slabs, or basic foam on timber
- Landlords and letting agents: an affordable foam layer that keeps rental click floors quiet and flat
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: thicker acoustic underlay under guest room floors to keep noise from neighbouring rooms
