Slate, stone and weather in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, with leafy older suburbs such as Westdene, Waverley and Universitas, plus newer estates around Langenhovenpark and Bainsvlei. Older sandstone and plastered houses sit beside modern homes that use slate for entrance halls, lounges, patios and feature walls. Free State winters bring hard frost, which can crack thin or porous outdoor tiles and lift paving laid on a poor bed. Summer hail damages roof tiles and slate-look sheets. Clay soils move, so use flexible adhesive and movement joints. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants are well spread across the city, and suppliers can deliver across the central Free State.
Typical fibre cement slates requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: a lighter slate-look re-roof on a family home whose trusses cannot take natural slate
- Older and heritage homes: a lighter alternative on older homes, only where heritage and neighbour rules allow it
- Security and golf estates: slate-look roofs on estate homes where the design guidelines allow a manufactured slate
- Townhouses and complexes: uniform slate-look roofing across a complex, supplied from one batch for matching colour
- New builds and developments: specified from the plans stage so lighter trusses and standard battens can be used
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate-look roofing on offices and restaurants where a quick, even finish is wanted
