Bricks & blocks in Cape Town: local notes
Backyard rooms and extensions in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, Delft and Gugulethu go up mostly in cement maxi bricks and hollow blocks, then plastered. Older houses in Woodstock, Salt River and Observatory are often clay brick under plaster. Near the sea in Sea Point, Muizenberg and Strand, plan for salt and efflorescence on face brick. Developers around Century City order paving bricks by the m².
Building with brick in Cape Town
Winter rain is what Cape Town brickmakers plan around. From May to August, cold fronts can soak fresh bricks for days, while the summer south-easter dries them too fast, so yards cover rows in both seasons. Cement blocks and maxi bricks dominate, building new rooms and backyard units in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, Delft and Gugulethu, while face brick and stock bricks go into homes and complexes in the northern and southern suburbs. Block yards and stores cluster in Epping, Montague Gardens and Philippi, sand comes from the Cape Flats and pits around the city, and salt air on the Atlantic seaboard and False Bay coast causes efflorescence on face brick.
Typical paving bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a paved driveway, a path to the front door or a patio by the braai
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: pavers ordered for driveways and walkways at the end of a house build
- Housing developers and complexes: matching pavers for the roads, parking and walkways of an estate or complex
