Floors and homes in Gqeberha
Gqeberha is known for wind, and the sea air carries salt and sand into homes along Algoa Bay. The climate is milder and less sticky than Durban, but timber still moves, and unsealed boards weather quickly outside. Older suburbs such as Central, Richmond Hill and Walmer have Victorian and Edwardian houses with pine and imported timber on suspended floors, while Summerstrand and Newton Park have mid-century homes, some with parquet. Newer estates use slabs. The motor industry in Kariega and Despatch supports a deep pool of tradespeople, so you can usually compare several fitters and sanders when you request quotes.
