George notes on fitting & restoration
Fitting in George depends on a dry base, so wet-season timing and moisture readings are key for slabs in Blanco and Pacaltsdorp. Old floors in town sand up well if the sub-floor is ventilated and dry. Because borer and damp can be issues in humid regions, a good restorer inspects before sanding. Dustless methods and sealed finishes help keep floors stable between rains.
George: climate, homes and floors
George has one of the wetter climates of the Western Cape, with rain through much of the year and humid air coming off the Garden Route coast. Timber in these conditions can swell, mould or move faster than in drier regions, so ventilation, sealed edges and careful acclimatisation matter more. The town grew with the local timber trade, and older homes often have yellowwood and stinkwood floors, while newer estates and retirement villages use slabs. Fitters here know humidity well, and many also serve Knysna and Mossel Bay. Requests lean towards durable, moisture-tolerant floors and well-sealed decks.
