Cape Town notes on floors & boards
In Cape Town, flat owners in Century City and Claremont often choose engineered boards or wood-look vinyl because of body corporate noise rules and the need for stable, thin floors. Houses in Woodstock and Salt River suit solid timber or reclaimed boards. Winter damp can swell some boards, so ask suppliers about acclimatising and a moisture reading. Check what the body corporate allows before ordering anything.
Cape Town: climate, homes and floors
Cape Town has wet winters and dry summers, with the south-easter blowing hard through the warmer months. Timber here feels both: winter damp can lift moisture in older suspended floors, while summer wind and sun dry boards and finishes. The city is full of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River with old pine or yellowwood floors, plus apartments in towers and conversions. Many fitters and restorers work from the city bowl and the southern suburbs. People ask most for sanding and sealing of old floors, for wood-look vinyl in flats, and for sundecks that survive coastal wind and salt.
Typical parquet flooring requests in the area come from:
- Flats and townhouses: thin glued parquet or engineered blocks that keep the floor low and quiet
- 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
