Paarl: climate, homes and floors
Paarl lies in the Boland, where summers are hot and dry, winters are cool and wet, and the valley can trap heat against the mountain. Timber floors here have to cope with big seasonal swings in dryness, so gaps open in summer and close after winter rain. The housing mix includes Cape Dutch farmhouses, Victorian homes along Main Street, wine farm cellars and tasting rooms, and newer estates on slabs. Many of the older houses have yellowwood or pine floors that suit careful sanding. Restorers and fitters here often work on heritage and hospitality jobs, so sensitive finishes and experienced hands count.
