Slate, stone and weather in Free State
Free State homes face cold, frosty winters and hot, stormy summers, which is hard on outdoor stone. Frost lifts poorly bedded paving and cracks tiles laid on weak screeds, so flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints matter. Hail damages roof slates and tiles across the open plains. Bloemfontein has older sandstone and Victorian-era houses, while farmhouses and guest lodges use slate and stone cladding on verandas and fireplaces. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants cluster in the larger towns, and delivery to farms and smaller towns is routine.
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
- Older and heritage homes: a lighter alternative on older homes, only where heritage and neighbour rules allow it
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: uniform slate-look roofing across a complex, supplied from one batch for matching colour
