Western Cape: climate, homes and floors
The Western Cape has wet winters and dry summers, with strong wind and a mild, Mediterranean pattern. Timber copes well when boards are acclimatised, but damp in winter can lift old floors and cause mould in poorly ventilated rooms. Cape Town has Victorian terraces, Cape Dutch homes and 1960s houses on pine, and newer estates and apartments on concrete. Stellenbosch and Paarl farmhouses often carry old yellowwood or stinkwood floors worth restoring. A strong trade of restorers, joiners and decking specialists works across the Winelands, the Garden Route and the Atlantic coast.
