Slate, stone and weather in Paarl
Paarl lies in the Boland valley beneath Paarl Rock, with Cape Dutch homes, Victorian cottages, wine estates and security villages. Whitewashed gables, thick plaster walls and stone-flagged stoeps suit natural slate and local-style stone, and some older homes still have slate or thatch roofs. Heritage rules apply to many older buildings, so check before changing exteriors. Winter rain wets shaded courtyards, and hot dry summers fade sealers on open terraces, so sealing and non-slip finishes help. Wine estates use slate in tasting rooms, cellar entrances and guest-house bathrooms. Tile shops, paving yards and merchants serve the valley, with deliveries to Wellington, Franschhoek and the surrounding farms.
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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: slate-look roofs on farm buildings and guest houses, supplied in bulk and delivered to site
- Security and golf estates: slate-look roofs on estate homes where the design guidelines allow a manufactured slate
- 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
- New builds and developments: specified from the plans stage so lighter trusses and standard battens can be used
