Centurion notes on decks, finishes & trims
Estates in Centurion and Irene often have a lake, golf course or wetland view, so owners add decks and pool surrounds with that in mind. Balau, pine and composite are all used, and sun exposure on the highveld grass is strong. Body corporates may restrict colour, height or materials, so get written approval first. Skirting and trims are worth specifying in the same finish as the new floors indoors.
Centurion: climate, homes and floors
Centurion is mostly built from the 1990s onward, so its floors look nothing like Johannesburg's old suburbs. Lifestyle estates and security complexes around Irene, Eldoraigne and the lake dominate, nearly all on concrete slabs, with office parks beside the highway. That makes screed moisture and level the main technical questions. Estate rules often shape what you can do, from underlay noise limits in upper-floor units to timber decks facing the golf course or dam. Winters are dry and summers stormy, so boards need acclimatising on site. Jobs here are usually fresh installations by contractors who work estate to estate, not restorations of century-old boards.
