What to know locally in Free State
Homes in Mangaung's townships, Botshabelo and Thabong in Welkom are mostly built in cement maxi bricks and plastered, while Westdene, Universitas and Fichardt Park in Bloemfontein carry older red face brick that extensions should match. Bethlehem and Ficksburg still see sandstone details paired with face brick. Grain stores and sheds near Bothaville, Reitz and Viljoenskroon are built with hollow blocks on solid footings.
Free State: the building, the weather and the yards
Sandstone farmhouses in the eastern Free State and red face brick in Bloemfontein tell you the province has always built with what the ground offers. Today the busiest orders come from the townships and new housing around Bloemfontein, Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu, from Welkom and Virginia where old mine houses are extended and rented, and from Phuthaditjhaba in Qwaqwa where families build in stages. Kroonstad, Bethlehem and Sasolburg have their own yards and builders, and grain and cattle farms order blocks for sheds and staff housing. Cement brick and block yards work the edges of most towns. Hard winter frost and summer hail are real threats to bricks that have not cured.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: pavers for a farmhouse yard, a wash bay or the floor of a shed
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: pavers ordered for driveways and walkways at the end of a house build
