Slate, stone and weather in Kimberley
Kimberley is a historic diamond city with Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia, Kimberley North and around the Big Hole. Most old roofs are corrugated iron, but slate and stone appear on verandah floors, hearths, thick-walled facades and the occasional original slate roof. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings, so check before changing exteriors. The dry Karoo-edge climate brings very hot summers, frosty winter nights and sudden storms, which stress outdoor tiles and sealers. Shifting soils call for a solid bed and movement joints. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate, with larger orders and cladding delivered from Bloemfontein, Johannesburg or Cape Town.
Typical fibre cement slates requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: a lighter alternative on older homes, only where heritage and neighbour rules allow it
- Suburban homes: a lighter slate-look re-roof on a family home whose trusses cannot take natural slate
- 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
- 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
