Makhanda and Graaff-Reinet homes have older boards that benefit from matching new pieces. Mthatha and the interior need floors suited to cold nights and warm days. Larger showrooms in Gqeberha and East London supply most stock, with deliveries reaching smaller towns within a few days.
Eastern Cape: climate, homes and floors
The Eastern Cape coast is windy and mild, with sea air and a spread of rainfall from east to west. Boards behave well if they have time to settle, but salt and damp can affect finishes. Gqeberha and East London have Victorian and Edwardian homes with pine floors, plus 1970s houses and newer estates on slabs. Makhanda, Graaff-Reinet and the Karoo towns have old stone cottages with timber floors worth restoring, and Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred attract holiday homes. Independent carpenters and small floor firms cover most of the province, with specialists travelling for bigger or distant jobs.
