Eastern Cape: the weather, the buildings and the damp
The Eastern Cape coast is mild and damp: Gqeberha, Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and East London get sea mist, drizzle and a south-westerly wind, and older homes in Walmer, Summerstrand, Southernwood and Berea often have limited ventilation, so washing dries slowly and cupboards smell musty. Inland the Karoo around Graaff-Reinet and Cradock is dry, with cold winter nights, while the Wild Coast and the hills around Mthatha get heavy summer rain, and rural homes and RDP houses struggle with condensation. Port Elizabeth's motor industry, the Coega zone, the East London port and citrus packhouses in the Gamtoos and Sundays River valleys need steady humidity control.
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
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a repaint of a damp flat between tenants, after the cause is fixed
- Factories and food plants: wash rooms, canteens and food-area walls that need a mould-resistant finish
