Slate, stone and weather in Western Cape
The Western Cape combines winter rain, dry hot summers and strong coastal wind, and slate has a long history here. Cape Town and the Winelands have Cape Dutch and Victorian homes, some with heritage slate roofs and stone walls. Wine estates and guest houses use slate and stone cladding on terraces and feature walls, while seaside homes need salt-tolerant sealing and a non-slip finish around pools. Winter damp brings algae to shaded stone. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and merchants are plentiful, with delivery to the Winelands, Garden Route and West Coast.
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
- Coastal and holiday homes: slate-look roofs for coastal homes where weight, wind and salt air all matter
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: slate-look roofs on farm buildings and guest houses, supplied in bulk and delivered to site
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate-look roofing on offices and restaurants where a quick, even finish is wanted
