Free State notes on floors & boards
Bloemfontein buyers choose between laminate, engineered oak and wood-look tiles, with solid hardwood for people matching an older house. Winter heating in Westdene, Langenhoven Park and Universitas dries rooms, so boards need acclimatisation and a sensible gap at the walls. Welkom and Kroonstad shoppers often order from Bloemfontein showrooms, and Clarens guesthouse owners look for warmer finishes that suit sandstone walls.
Floors and homes 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.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Homeowners: solid kiaat or oak boards through lounges and bedrooms that last for generations of resealing
- Landlords and letting agents: a tough hardwood that can be sanded back between tenants instead of replaced
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: warm teak or kiaat floors in lodge lounges and restaurants, sealed for heavy use
