Free State notes on decks, finishes & trims
Free State decks face hard frost, dry air and sharp afternoon sun, so use hardwood or composite and keep the fixings sturdy. Guesthouse stoeps in Clarens, Bethlehem and Parys are popular, and pool decks in Bloemfontein suburbs like Fichardt Park need non-slip timber. Timber and trims are available through merchants in Bloemfontein, with specialist orders brought from further afield.
Free State: climate, homes and floors
The Free State has cold, frosty winters and hot summers, with thunderstorms bringing short bursts of humidity. Bloemfontein and the grain towns have many sandstone and brick homes with suspended pine floors, plus 1960s and 1970s houses on slabs. The mining towns around Welkom and Sasolburg have older company housing, and the eastern hills around Clarens and Bethlehem have guesthouses and holiday homes. Skilled carpenters and sanders work out of Bloemfontein, and some travel to smaller towns. Many jobs involve refreshing old boards rather than laying new floors, and heating can dry rooms further in winter.
Typical wooden floor polishing requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a buff and fresh coat that brings dull pine or parquet back without a full sand
- Landlords and letting agents: a quick buff and recoat between tenants that hides scuffs and brightens a floor
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: regular polishing of lodge lounges and restaurant floors that see heavy foot traffic
