Slate, stone and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town on the Kalahari edge, with newer face-brick houses, complexes and lodges around the camel thorn veld. Owners use slate and stone on patios, pool surrounds, carports and entrance halls, and rustic stone suits the red sand surroundings. Summers are fiercely hot, so dark slate can burn bare feet in full sun, and UV breaks down sealers fast. Cold winter nights and rare heavy storms add movement, so use flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints. Dust makes honed or sealed floors easier to keep clean. Local merchants stock basic tiles, but slate, cladding and special orders are delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
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
- Townhouses and complexes: uniform slate-look roofing across a complex, supplied from one batch for matching colour
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate-look roofing on offices and restaurants where a quick, even finish is wanted
- Security and golf estates: slate-look roofs on estate homes where the design guidelines allow a manufactured slate
