Slate, stone and weather in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a historic Boer War town on the Klip River, with older sandstone and brick buildings in the centre and suburbs such as Model Park. Heritage houses have thick walls, verandahs and timber floors, where slate suits stoeps, hearths and entrance halls, and local sandstone suits repair work. Owners should check heritage rules before altering older exteriors. Summers are hot with strong storms and hail, and winters bring frost, so outdoor tiles need a flexible adhesive, a solid bed and sealing. Lodges and farms towards the Drakensberg foothills use rustic slate and stone cladding. Local merchants stock basic tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Newcastle, Pietermaritzburg or Gauteng.

Typical black slate tiles requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: dark slate hearths and hall floors that sit well with period features in older homes
- Suburban homes: honed black slate in kitchens, bathrooms and entrance halls of family homes
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: dark slate floors and hearths in farmhouses and lodges that hide daily wear
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: black slate floors and bar fronts in restaurants, hotels and showrooms
- New builds and developments: black slate chosen early so floor levels, sealing and lighting suit the finished room
- Security and golf estates: dark slate floors and feature walls that suit the clean lines of modern estate homes
