KwaZulu-Natal notes on bricks & blocks
Rooms added in Umlazi, KwaMashu and Clermont are mostly hollow blocks and cement maxi bricks, while estates in Umhlanga, Ballito and Hillcrest use clay face brick and paving. On the steep stands of Westville, Kloof and Pietermaritzburg's Montrose, retaining wall blocks hold up gardens and driveways. Coastal face brick should be a dense unit laid with a sound damp-proof course to keep salt staining down.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in KwaZulu-Natal
Steep hills, coastal damp and a huge rural population make KwaZulu-Natal a province of hollow blocks and retaining walls. Across the hills of Ndwedwe, Msinga and Nongoma, homesteads are built in cement blocks from small local yards, often with the blocks made on site. Durban's townships of Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda keep adding rooms, while Umhlanga, Ballito and Cornubia take estate and complex work with face brick and paving. Pietermaritzburg, Newcastle and Richards Bay each have their own yards. On the coast, salt and humidity bring white efflorescence on face brick and rust on machine parts, and summer downpours wash out uncovered bricks. The Midlands and Drakensberg get winter frost.
Typical paving bricks requests in the area come from:
