Parklands sits a few kilometres from the West Coast shoreline. The prevailing north-westerly carries salt particles from the open Atlantic and Table Bay onto exterior surfaces in Parklands - less intense than beachfront Bloubergstrand, but still meaningfully more than inland Cape Town suburbs. Understanding this helps Parklands homeowners make better paint decisions.
Salt Air Gradient
Properties on the western side of Parklands closest to Bloubergstrand face more intense salt conditions than those on the eastern side. For all Parklands properties, premium exterior paint is the correct specification - standard paint underperforms in any position with West Coast exposure. For Bloubergstrand and Big Bay beachfront properties, the highest tier of coastal products is required. See our paint products guide.
Anti-Rust in Parklands
Gates, garage doors and metalwork corrode faster in Parklands than in inland Cape Town suburbs. Zinc-phosphate primer before enamel is the standard specification. Annual inspection and touch-up of any chips is important. See our anti-rust guide.
