Balau wood for patio deck
|
|
|
Our client in Somerset West, had an unused space / patio roof and decided to install decking which can now be used as a patio during our lovely summer months gazing into the sunset from the new patio.
What is balau wood: Balau is a durable hardwood, sourced from Indonesia. Balau has a rich, medium to dark brown colour and is rich in tropical oils which can be retained with a good natural sealant. If correctly installed and maintained, this hardwood can retain a beautiful light grey surface from exposure to the sun.
Suitable for use as exterior decking, often used within the Western Cape.
Phone HandyCrew for all your decking requirements. View more project photos

Waterproofing and Roof repairs
|
|
|
We have been inundated with calls from clients who wants to / already installed solar pannels and now there is roof leaks after the installation.
What HandyCrew does is the following:
Prior to the actual installation, the brackets must be installed by the solar technician, We then come and waterproof around the brackets and once the roof is repaired and waterproofed the solar pannels may be installed and connected by the solar techintian.
This way the client will be worry free of future water leaks which may cause damage to the ceilings etc. HandyCrew does a thorough inspection of the roof and can also repair missing tiles / fix roof valleys and ridges / fix gutters etc while we are on-site.

Vinyl Click Flooring
|
|
|
Handy Crew installed this Vinyl Click Flooring for a client this week – look at the stunning results!
What is click vinyl plank flooring?
It is vinyl floor that works in the same way as a laminated floor. Each vinyl plank simply ‘click’ into each other. Due to this thickness, a click vinyl floor is more forgiving of being laid over imperfect surfaces, so you might not need to worry about putting down underlayment, something that’s recommended with glue-down vinyl floors. It can also be laid directly over most surfaces, including cement, granite, tile, laminate and more, saving you time and the inconvenience of removing old tiles.
This type of flooring is an ideal choice for homeowners who want affordable, convenient, durable and water-resistant flooring. It’s also suitable for any room, including kitchens and bathrooms. Due to the extra thickness of the planks, this type of flooring also tends to be softer and more comfortable to walk on – and it doesn’t get as cold as real wood or tile during the winter.
