Building with brick in Germiston
Germiston is an industrial town first, and its brick work follows that: factory walls, warehouse extensions and boundary walls in Wadeville, Isando, Elandsfontein and Germiston South, often in 190 mm hollow blocks. The residential side is varied. Older homes in Primrose, Lambton and Dinwiddie get extensions in face brick, Bedfordview villas get high boundary walls, and Katlehong and Tokoza, to the south, build backyard rooms and double storeys in cement bricks. Block yards, machine suppliers and spares sellers cluster in the industrial areas, so the town is a convenient place to buy a machine or mould. Germiston Lake and the low ground nearby collect cold air in winter, so expect frost on fresh brickwork.
