Middelburg notes on bricks & blocks
Aerorand and Kanonkop homes are mostly face brick on the outside with plastered stock brick inside, and owners extending often hunt for a matching face brick batch. In Mhluzi the common order is cement maxi bricks for rooms and boundary walls. Farm buildings on the Hendrina road use 140 mm hollow blocks. Order a whole job at once, since colours and sizes drift between batches.
Building with brick in Middelburg
Frost on winter mornings is the first thing a Middelburg brick maker plans around. Cement bricks made on a slab in June need covering overnight, or the surface flakes and the strength never comes. The town builds steadily: family homes and townhouses in Aerorand and Kanonkop, RDP and self-built houses in Mhluzi, workshops for the steel works and mines, and farm sheds and staff houses out on the Hendrina and Belfast roads. Brickyards and block yards in town carry stock and clay face bricks come in from bigger works. Plenty of people start a small brick business here with a manual or electric machine. Ask for delivery with offloading if the site is a farm or a narrow township street.

- Homeowners: 140 mm hollow blocks for a boundary wall, garage or back room
