Moisture & air supplies in Western Cape: local notes
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.
Damp and humidity in Western Cape
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.
Typical silica gel and desiccant packs requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: canisters in gun safes, camera cabinets and boxes of documents and keepsakes
- Warehouses, archives and storage: sachets in packaged stock and strips in containers and sealed bins
- Factories and food plants: packs for finished goods, electronics and spare parts in storage
