Kariega notes on bricks & blocks
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.
Building with brick 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.
The requests we see from Kariega usually 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
- Brickyards and block yards: a block yard adding pavers to its range to sell alongside bricks
