Decks, finishes & trims in Bloemfontein: local notes
Decks in Bloemfontein get frost, strong summer sun and the odd hailstorm, so use treated pine or hardwood with a flexible finish and re-coat before it fails. Many stoeps in Langenhoven Park and Bainsvlei sit over slabs and need drainage so water does not pool. Polishing of indoor floors helps in dry winters. Skirting boards often get replaced at the same time, so give your fitter a list of rooms.
What lies underfoot in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein has proper winters. Frost is common on clear nights, the air is dry and cold, and indoor heating pulls moisture from boards, which then shrink and creak. Summer brings sharp afternoon storms. The city has a lot of older sandstone and brick homes on suspended pine floors, plus 1960s and 1970s houses with glued parquet. Students at the university and technical campuses fill rental houses and flats, which makes durable, easy-to-replace floors popular. Courts, schools, churches and offices keep contractors busy too. Sanding and sealing of old pine and parquet is a staple, and Bloemfontein is a hub that supplies fitters to smaller towns across the Free State.
Typical pool decking requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a grooved timber surround for a family pool, soft underfoot and quick to dry
- Landlords and letting agents: a pine pool deck that lifts a rental without heavy upkeep or special care
- Schools, halls, gyms and studios: a school or gym pool surround with slip-resistant boards and safe, rounded edges
