Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and one of the most demanding environments for exterior paint in South Africa. The city's extraordinary geography - the Atlantic Seaboard, Table Mountain, the Cape Flats, the City Bowl mountain slopes and the False Bay coast - creates a range of microclimates that demand different painting knowledge for different suburbs. The south-easter (the Cape Doctor) drives salt air from the Atlantic into the southern suburbs. Mountain slopes accumulate moisture. The northern suburbs face UV and heat. Understanding which conditions apply to your suburb is the starting point for any successful Cape Town painting project. This guide covers what Cape Town homeowners need to know.
The South-Easter and Salt Air
The Cape Doctor blows across Table Bay and the City Bowl from spring to early autumn. For coastal suburbs it carries Atlantic salt. See our salt air guide.
