Old floors in town sand up well if the sub-floor is ventilated and dry. Because borer and damp can be issues in humid regions, a good restorer inspects before sanding. Dustless methods and sealed finishes help keep floors stable between rains.
Floors and homes in George

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.
