Slate, stone and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the Drakensberg foothills, with older suburbs like Lennoxton and Fernwood and newer complexes. Owners use charcoal and grey slate on entrance halls and lounges, with rustic slate on patios and braai areas. The weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail to cold winters with hard frost, so outdoor stone must be dense, well sealed and laid on a solid bed with movement joints. Hail bruises roof tiles and fibre-cement slate-look sheets, and older ones may contain asbestos. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate and paving, with larger orders delivered from Gauteng or Durban.
Typical black slate tiles requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: honed black slate in kitchens, bathrooms and entrance halls of family homes
- Townhouses and complexes: black slate bathrooms and small entrance floors that make compact rooms feel smart
- Older and heritage homes: dark slate hearths and hall floors that sit well with period features in older homes
- New builds and developments: black slate chosen early so floor levels, sealing and lighting suit the finished room
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: black slate floors and bar fronts in restaurants, hotels and showrooms
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: dark slate floors and hearths in farmhouses and lodges that hide daily wear
