Upington notes on floors & boards
In Upington, tile-effect vinyl and wood-look porcelain tiles do well because they ignore the dry air, and they stay cooler than many people expect. Real timber is still chosen, especially in guesthouses at Louisvale and homes by the river, but boards need time in the room and wall gaps may open in winter. Engineered boards are often preferred over solid ones, since they tend to move less. Ask for a moisture reading on the slab before any floor goes down.
Upington: climate, homes and floors
Upington is a Kalahari town on the Orange River, and heat and dryness shape everything about timber here. Summer days are among the hottest in the country, humidity is very low, and air-conditioning dries rooms further. Boards shrink, finishes crack and gaps open more readily than at the coast, so acclimatising and a flexible finish matter. Many houses are flat-roofed and built on slabs, with farmhouses and guesthouses among the vineyards and date palms along the river. Fine red dust finds its way into everything, which complicates sanding. Distances are long, and fitters often drive hours between Upington, Keimoes and Kakamas, so grouped jobs make sense.
Who asks for parquet flooring around Upington, most often first:
- Homeowners: herringbone in a hall or lounge, or old block floors brought back to life
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: pattern floors in lodge lobbies and dining rooms, sealed for daily trade
- Builders, developers and renovators: feature herringbone or chevron floors set out and laid once the screed is dry
