KwaZulu-Natal notes on fitting & restoration
Durban's Berea, Musgrave and Morningside have older homes with pine floors that sand and reseal after years of damp. Pinetown and Westville add 1970s houses on slabs. Sanders in the Midlands around Howick and Hilton often work on refurbished farmhouses. After heavy summer rain, let floors dry before sanding, and ask the fitter to check for borer or lifting boards.
KwaZulu-Natal: climate, homes and floors
KwaZulu-Natal is damp and warm along the coast, where salt air and months of high humidity make timber move and finishes soften. Boards should acclimatise longer here, and ventilation under suspended floors matters. Durban's older suburbs have timber homes and Edwardian houses on pine, while Umhlanga, Ballito and Pietermaritzburg add modern apartments and estates on concrete. Termites and borer are common concerns, so ask about treatment. Midlands towns are cooler and drier. Local fitters work with a lot of laminate and vinyl as well as hardwood, and sanders are in demand after wet summers.
