Western Cape notes on fitting & restoration
Woodstock, Observatory and Wynberg have Victorian terraces with pine floors, while Stellenbosch and Franschhoek have older homes with heritage floors that call for careful restoration. Hermanus and Knysna add holiday homes where floors face damp air. Winter rain slows drying times, so many sanders prefer summer, but they are busy then, so book well ahead.
Western Cape: climate, homes and floors
The Western Cape has wet winters and dry summers, with strong wind and a mild, Mediterranean pattern. Timber copes well when boards are acclimatised, but damp in winter can lift old floors and cause mould in poorly ventilated rooms. Cape Town has Victorian terraces, Cape Dutch homes and 1960s houses on pine, and newer estates and apartments on concrete. Stellenbosch and Paarl farmhouses often carry old yellowwood or stinkwood floors worth restoring. A strong trade of restorers, joiners and decking specialists works across the Winelands, the Garden Route and the Atlantic coast.
Typical wooden floor installation requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: solid or engineered boards laid through living areas and bedrooms by an experienced fitter
- Flats and townhouses: floated floors on acoustic underlay that respect the body corporate's noise rules
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: warm timber floors in guest rooms and lounges, fitted room by room to keep beds available
