Painting in Cape Town's Wettest Suburb

Newlands holds the distinction of being Cape Town's wettest residential suburb - receiving significantly more annual rainfall than even nearby Rondebosch or Claremont, due to its direct position against the Constantiaberg where the mountain creates its most intense orographic effect. For painters, this single fact changes almost everything about how Newlands properties should be treated.

What the Rainfall Means for Paint

Biological growth on exterior walls regrows faster in Newlands than in almost any other Cape Town suburb. Premium maximum-strength anti-fungal exterior paint is the correct specification for every Newlands property without exception. Standard products are simply not adequate. Five to six year exterior paint cycles are realistic with premium products - shorter than sheltered suburbs. See our paint products guide.

Shade from the Tree Canopy

Newlands' mature trees create deep shade that compounds the moisture conditions. South-facing shaded walls need double anti-fungal application. See our preparation guide.

Painters Newlands applies the maximum-strength anti-fungal protocol on every property.
