Slate, stone and weather in Johannesburg
Johannesburg has one of the deepest slate and stone markets in the country. Older northern suburbs and Parktown-era homes include heritage slate roofs, while newer estates use slate for entrance halls, patios, pool surrounds and braai walls. Highveld hail can crack roof slates, summer storms drive water across stoeps, and winter frost punishes loose paving. Dry winters also dry out sealers, so re-sealing is common. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread from Sandton to the West Rand, and delivery across the metro is standard.
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
- Older and heritage homes: a lighter alternative on older homes, only where heritage and neighbour rules allow it
- 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
