Slate, stone and weather in Brits
Brits lies on the Crocodile River flats between Pretoria and Rustenburg, close to the Hartbeespoort holiday belt, so slate shows up on braai areas, pool surrounds and stone-clad entrances of weekend houses and smallholdings. Black cotton soil in parts of the district swells and shrinks, which cracks rigid floors and paving unless the bed is solid and movement joints are cut. Highveld hail damages roof tiles and slate-look sheets, and strong sun fades unsealed stone on open patios. Local tile shops and builders' merchants stock common slate and paving, while Pretoria yards supply larger or special orders and deliver to farms and estates around the dam.
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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: slate-look roofs on farm buildings and guest houses, supplied in bulk and delivered to site
- Security and golf estates: slate-look roofs on estate homes where the design guidelines allow a manufactured slate
- 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
- Older and heritage homes: a lighter alternative on older homes, only where heritage and neighbour rules allow it
