George notes on decks, finishes & trims
George decks sit in damp, shaded gardens, so mould and slipperiness are common complaints. Balau and well-treated pine on lodges around Wilderness and Herold's Bay need regular cleaning and oiling. Composite is popular for low upkeep and slip resistance. Ask about ventilation under the deck, drainage gaps and fixings. Skirting, polishing and underlay are quoted per job after a visit.
What lies underfoot in George
George has one of the wetter climates of the Western Cape, with rain through much of the year and humid air coming off the Garden Route coast. Timber in these conditions can swell, mould or move faster than in drier regions, so ventilation, sealed edges and careful acclimatisation matter more. The town grew with the local timber trade, and older homes often have yellowwood and stinkwood floors, while newer estates and retirement villages use slabs. Fitters here know humidity well, and many also serve Knysna and Mossel Bay. Requests lean towards durable, moisture-tolerant floors and well-sealed decks.
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
- Builders, developers and renovators: membrane underlay laid across whole houses once moisture readings on the screed pass
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: thicker acoustic underlay under guest room floors to keep noise from neighbouring rooms
