Floors & boards in Benoni: local notes
Benoni floors suit larger rooms, so board width and layout matter. Homes in Rynfield and Northmead often have open-plan living areas where engineered or solid planks look right. Rentals in Crystal Park tend to use laminate or vinyl for easy upkeep. Ask suppliers about acclimatising boards on site for a week or so, as the dry winter air can shrink them after fitting.
Benoni: climate, homes and floors
Benoni is the lake town of the East Rand, and the water shapes the housing. Rynfield, Northmead and Lakefield have large older stands, spacious stoeps and gardens, and homes of different ages, from timber-floored houses to later slab-built ones. Summer storms bring rain that can blow onto exposed stoeps and decks, while dry winters shrink interior timber. Smallholdings towards Putfontein often have farm-style homes with big lounges and pine ceilings that suit matching wooden floors. Requests lean towards outdoor timber, braai decks, and sanding old pine or kiaat. Fitters and deck builders here are used to working on larger plots with long driveways and mature trees.
Typical parquet flooring requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: herringbone in a hall or lounge, or old block floors brought back to life
- Landlords and letting agents: matching blocks to patch an old parquet floor rather than tearing up the room
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: pattern floors in lodge lobbies and dining rooms, sealed for daily trade
