Randburg notes on floors & boards
In Randburg, many buyers are matching or replacing floors in 1970s homes around Ferndale, Bromhof and Blairgowrie. Laminate and vinyl are popular for kitchens and bedrooms, while engineered boards suit people who want a wood look without tearing out parquet. Ask your supplier whether a new floor can go over existing parquet, since loose or hollow blocks usually have to be fixed or lifted first.
Randburg: climate, homes and floors
Randburg is a place of 1960s to 1980s family houses, face brick, tiled roofs and big gardens. That era left a lot of parquet, including herringbone and block patterns glued onto slabs, as well as suspended pine in some of the older streets of Ferndale, Linden and Blairgowrie. Many floors have been carpeted over for decades and are now being lifted and sanded. Homes near the Northcliff ridge sit on rockier ground and some are on slopes. Dry winters and summer storms are tough on old glue lines. Retirees, young families and landlords here ask about parquet restoration, repairs and DIY sander hire as often as new floors.
Typical hardwood flooring requests in the area 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
- Flats and townhouses: thin solid or glued boards on acoustic backing that meet the body corporate's noise rules
