Paarl notes on bricks & blocks
Wine farms around Simondium and Groot Drakenstein use face brick and clay pavers for cellars, tasting rooms and courtyards, and the colour has to match older buildings. Mbekweni and Paarl East build mostly in plastered cement blocks and maxi bricks. Lifestyle estates between Paarl and Franschhoek use face brick and paving, so order each phase from a consistent batch and keep a few spares.
Building with brick in Paarl
Wine farms, fruit packsheds and a growing town give Paarl a wide mix of brick work. Farms across the Drakenstein valley build cellars, sheds, staff housing and boundary walls, many in face brick that suits the Cape Winelands look. Mbekweni and the newer housing areas of Paarl East extend with cement blocks and maxi bricks, while Wellington and Klapmuts see estates and warehouses. The Boland gets cold, wet winters and very hot, dry summers, so fresh bricks need cover from rain in July and shade and water in January. Brick and block yards sit in the industrial areas of Paarl and Wellington, and clay brickyards in the wider Winelands supply face brick.
The requests we see from Paarl usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: block walls for sheds, pump houses, feed stores and dairy buildings
- Homeowners: 140 mm hollow blocks for a boundary wall, garage or back room
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: block walls on outbuildings and houses that go up in fewer courses
