Slate, stone and weather in Durban
Durban is a warm, humid coastal city where slate is used on verandahs, pool decks, bathrooms and feature walls from Umhlanga and Berea to Westville. Salt air, heavy summer rain and constant humidity grow mould and algae on shaded stone, so choose a non-slip cleft finish, give outdoor areas proper falls and clean with pH-neutral products. Sealing protects against salt and stains, and moisture rising through screeds can cause white efflorescence. Flat roofs and balconies need sound waterproofing under tiles. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread across the metro, and many suppliers deliver to the South Coast, North Coast and inland hills.
Typical fibre cement slates requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: slate-look roofs for coastal homes where weight, wind and salt air all matter
- Suburban homes: a lighter slate-look re-roof on a family home whose trusses cannot take natural slate
- 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
