What to know locally in Boksburg
Boksburg buyers often replace worn carpet in Parkdene and Beyers Park houses, and some discover parquet underneath. If it is sound, restoring it usually beats covering it. For new floors, estates in Sunward Park and Atlasville mostly go for laminate, vinyl or wood-look tiles on slab. Bring a photo of the room and your colour preference to the supplier rather than choosing from small samples.
Boksburg: climate, homes and floors
Boksburg has a lot of 1960s and 1970s housing, and with it a lot of parquet. Blocks of oak, kiaat or Rhodesian teak were glued to screeds in many living rooms in suburbs such as Parkdene and Witfield, and today they are being sanded back and resealed. Time and sun have often darkened them, and some blocks have lifted where old adhesive failed. Dry Highveld winters, with big day and night swings, make loose blocks more obvious. Newer estates around Sunward Park and Atlasville are on concrete slabs and lean towards laminate and wood-look tiles. Hotels and conference venues near Jet Park and the airport corridor add commercial work.
The requests we see from Boksburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: solid kiaat or oak boards through lounges and bedrooms that last for generations of resealing
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: warm teak or kiaat floors in lodge lounges and restaurants, sealed for heavy use
- Landlords and letting agents: a tough hardwood that can be sanded back between tenants instead of replaced
