Slate, stone and weather in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, is a motor-industry town at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with older central suburbs, newer estates and farms along the Sundays River and Addo. Many homes are single-storey plastered or face-brick houses with tiled roofs, and owners add slate to entrance halls, stoeps and braai areas. Heritage buildings in the central area suit careful stone and slate repairs. The climate is dry and warm with sudden cold fronts and strong winds, so dust and sun wear sealers quickly. Lodges and farm stays near Addo favour rustic stone. Local merchants stock common tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Gqeberha.
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
- Older and heritage homes: a lighter alternative on older homes, only where heritage and neighbour rules allow it
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: slate-look roofs on farm buildings and guest houses, supplied in bulk and delivered to site
- New builds and developments: specified from the plans stage so lighter trusses and standard battens can be used
- Security and golf estates: slate-look roofs on estate homes where the design guidelines allow a manufactured slate
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate-look roofing on offices and restaurants where a quick, even finish is wanted
