Slate, stone and weather in Gauteng
Gauteng has the country's biggest market for slate and natural stone. Suburban patios and braai areas, estate feature walls, entrance halls and pool surrounds are the common jobs, and a few older Johannesburg and Pretoria homes still carry heritage slate roofs. Highveld hail cracks roof slates and tiles, afternoon storms soak outdoor floors, and winter frost works into poorly bedded paving. Strong UV also fades topical sealers on sunny stoeps. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread across the province, so supply is easy to compare and delivery to estates and outlying plots is usual.

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
- 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
- Older and heritage homes: a lighter alternative on older homes, only where heritage and neighbour rules allow it
