Mountain Moisture and Painting in Claremont

The Constantiaberg creates Claremont's defining painting challenge. Mountain orographic rainfall - where moisture-laden air is forced upward by the mountain and cools to create cloud and rain - makes the Southern Suburbs suburbs closest to the mountain among Cape Town's wettest. Newlands is famously the wettest suburb in Cape Town. For painters, this means biological growth on south-facing and shaded walls is more active than in any other part of Cape Town.

The Treatment Protocol

Apply concentrated fungicidal solution twice on heavily affected walls. Allow full dwell time each application. High-pressure wash. Apply maximum-strength anti-fungal exterior paint. For the most severely affected walls, add an anti-fungal primer coat before topcoat. See our paint products guide.

Painters Claremont treats every shaded wall with the correct anti-fungal protocol.
