Slate, stone and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene and coastal homes at Mtunzini. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain suit slate only when it is well chosen and cared for: sealed, non-slip cleft stone on patios and pool surrounds, with falls so water runs off. Mould and algae grow quickly in shade, and sandy soils shift under paving, so a firm base matters. Salt can attack weak adhesive beds, so use flexible, polymer-modified adhesive. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, while slate, cladding and special orders usually come from Durban and are delivered north.

Typical black slate tiles requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: black slate showers and decks, sealed carefully against salt air and humidity
- Suburban homes: honed black slate in kitchens, bathrooms and entrance halls of family homes
- Security and golf estates: dark slate floors and feature walls that suit the clean lines of modern estate homes
- Townhouses and complexes: black slate bathrooms and small entrance floors that make compact rooms feel smart
- 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
