Building with brick in Klerksdorp
Gold built Klerksdorp and its neighbours Stilfontein and Orkney, and the mine houses, hostels and old brick suburbs still show it. Today the work is mostly homes and extensions: family houses in Flamwood and Wilkoppies, self-built and RDP houses in Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana, and shops and rooms along the main routes. Cement brick yards are spread through the townships, and block yards in the industrial area supply builders and farmers in the maize country around Hartbeesfontein. Some older suburbs were built with clay bricks from the district, so matching them on an extension takes a search. Dry, cold winters bring frost and hot summers bring storms, so new bricks need cover all year.
The requests we see from Klerksdorp usually come from:
- Homeowners: a glass block shower wall or a panel beside the front door for light
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: glass block panels built into bathrooms and stairwells on new houses
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard or merchant stocking glass blocks beside face bricks and blocks
