The main flooring underlay page explains the types, the preparation and the costs in more detail.
Decks, finishes & trims in Free State: local notes
Free State decks face hard frost, dry air and sharp afternoon sun, so use hardwood or composite and keep the fixings sturdy. Guesthouse stoeps in Clarens, Bethlehem and Parys are popular, and pool decks in Bloemfontein suburbs like Fichardt Park need non-slip timber. Timber and trims are available through merchants in Bloemfontein, with specialist orders brought from further afield.
What lies underfoot in Free State
The Free State has cold, frosty winters and hot summers, with thunderstorms bringing short bursts of humidity. Bloemfontein and the grain towns have many sandstone and brick homes with suspended pine floors, plus 1960s and 1970s houses on slabs. The mining towns around Welkom and Sasolburg have older company housing, and the eastern hills around Clarens and Bethlehem have guesthouses and holiday homes. Skilled carpenters and sanders work out of Bloemfontein, and some travel to smaller towns. Many jobs involve refreshing old boards rather than laying new floors, and heating can dry rooms further in winter.
Typical flooring underlay requests in the area 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
