Western Cape notes on moisture & air supplies
Moisture absorbers fill fast in wardrobes and cupboards on outside walls of Cape Town houses in winter, and holiday homes in Hermanus and Knysna that sit empty need them too. Anti-mould paint is common in bathrooms of Sea Point flats. Fynbos pollen in spring and smoke from fires suit purifiers, and silica gel helps exports through the Cape Town container terminal.
Western Cape: the weather, the buildings and the damp
The Western Cape has wet, cool winters from about May to August, and that is when damp surfaces. Victorian and Edwardian semis in Woodstock, Observatory, Kalk Bay and the southern suburbs, brick homes on the Cape Flats, sectional title flats in Sea Point and bungalows along the Garden Route from Knysna and George all struggle with condensation, mould on bedroom walls and washing that will not dry. The south-easter blows dry in summer, but winter north-westers bring rain. The Winelands around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester run cellars, cold stores and packhouses, and Cape Town's port and industrial areas such as Epping, Montague Gardens and Atlantis hold large warehouses.
The requests we see from Western Cape usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a bathroom ceiling, kitchen wall or bedroom corner that goes black each winter
- Factories and food plants: wash rooms, canteens and food-area walls that need a mould-resistant finish
- Hotels, gyms, spas and pools: bathrooms, kitchens and spa rooms in a hotel or guesthouse refresh
