Glass and glazing in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town on the Kalahari edge, with newer face-brick houses, complexes and lodges around the camel thorn veld. Mine staff housing, offices and shops drive demand for aluminium windows, sliding doors and shopfront glass. Summers are fiercely hot and sun on large panes causes thermal stress, so solar control glass and film are often asked about. Fine red dust clogs sliding door tracks and scratches glass when wiped dry. Cold winter nights and rare heavy storms add movement. Local merchants stock basic glass, but toughened and laminated panes are ordered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng, so expect a long delivery and lead time.
Typical glass roofs and canopies requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: a glass canopy over the front door or a glass-roofed patio next to the braai
- Apartments and complexes: a glass canopy over a ground-floor patio or a skylight in a top-floor flat
- Offices, clinics and schools: a glass canopy over an office entrance or a skylight above an atrium or reception
- Shops, restaurants and malls: a glass canopy over a shopfront or covered walkway that keeps shoppers dry
- Farms, lodges and guest houses: a glass roof over a lodge dining area, giving shelter but keeping the sky visible
- New builds and developments: overhead glass specified with the engineer before the roof structure and beams are built
