Bricks & blocks in Kariega: local notes
KwaNobuhle and Langa use cement maxi bricks and hollow blocks for most new rooms and houses, plastered or painted. Rosedale and the older parts of town have face brick homes, so match the colour when you extend. Retaining blocks and paving bricks are common for yards and driveways. Ask the yard for the strength of the units and whether they are tested before you order a full load.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Kariega
Car factories and their suppliers give Kariega its industrial side, and the housing around them keeps brickyards busy. KwaNobuhle and Langa grow with new rooms, houses and boundary walls in cement blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has face brick homes and some fine old buildings. Kariega sits inland of Gqeberha, so it is drier and hotter in summer, with less salt but strong wind, both of which dry fresh cement bricks too quickly. Sand comes from pits in the area, and block yards in town and nearby Despatch supply most jobs. Small brickmakers in KwaNobuhle make blocks for their own streets, often on a home slab.
Typical face bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a face brick house front or boundary wall that never needs painting
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: matched face bricks for a house build ordered in one batch per job
- Brickyards and block yards: clay yards grading each firing into face, semi face and stock bricks
