Mpumalanga notes on fitting & restoration
In eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda, older company and mine-era houses often have suspended pine or thin screeds that need checking before any sanding or new floor. Lowveld sanders in Mbombela and White River work mainly on lodge and guesthouse floors, where insects and humidity are real concerns. Ask whether borer treatment is needed, and expect sealing coats to be adjusted for the damp season.
Mpumalanga: climate, homes and floors
Mpumalanga runs from the cool Highveld around Middelburg and Ermelo down the escarpment to the warm, humid Lowveld near Mbombela and Hazyview. A board that behaves on the plateau can cup in the Lowveld, so ask where the timber was stored and how it was dried. Housing ranges from mine and power station houses in the coalfields to lodges, guesthouses and farmhouses with thatch overhead and verandas outside. Many lodge owners want hardwood and decks that cope with heat, rain and insects. Local carpenters and small flooring firms do most of the work, with larger jobs sometimes quoted from Gauteng.
