Slate, stone and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town or Gauteng.
Typical black slate tiles requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Security and golf estates: dark slate floors and feature walls that suit the clean lines of modern estate homes
- New builds and developments: black slate chosen early so floor levels, sealing and lighting suit the finished room
- Older and heritage homes: dark slate hearths and hall floors that sit well with period features in older homes
