Moisture & air supplies in Cape Town: local notes
Tubs and hanging bags are popular in wardrobes, cupboards and caravans through the Cape winter, and cheap humidity meters help tenants show a landlord how bad a room is. Silica gel suits goods packed for the port, and some households buy purifiers for dust, though they do not dry a damp wall. Anti-mould paint helps in bathrooms once the cause has been fixed.
Cape Town: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Cape Town's winters, roughly May to August, are cool and wet, and many homes get damp and mould then. Old Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, Edwardian houses in Observatory and Claremont, cottages in Kenilworth and Newlands, and low-cost homes on the Cape Flats all hold moisture in cold, shut rooms. Drying washing indoors adds a lot of water vapour, and the south-easter is a summer wind, so winter windows often stay closed. Seafront flats in Sea Point and Bantry Bay get salt air. Industry in Paarden Eiland, Epping and Montague Gardens, plus the docks, needs dry storage, and the market is full of suppliers.
Typical anti-mould paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a bathroom ceiling, kitchen wall or bedroom corner that goes black each winter
- Warehouses, archives and storage: offices, ablutions and wash bays that stay wet
- Offices, schools and clinics: damp patches in toilets, kitchenettes and basement stores
Local tips for Cape Town
Suppliers serving Cape Town mostly work from here: suppliers in Montague Gardens, Epping and Paarden Eiland; damp firms across the suburbs. The jobs that come up most: damp winter homes, laundry drying, mould in rentals, dry storage in industrial parks. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the supplier can deliver before the first cold spell and service it later.
Anti-Mould Paint usually suit bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and damp rooms. How it works: A fungicide in the coat slows mould growth. For homeowners and tenants, the biggest group here, that usually means a bathroom ceiling, kitchen wall or bedroom corner that goes black each winter. On the weather: wet, cool winters from about May to August; mould and condensation peak then.
