Slate, stone and weather in Gqeberha
Gqeberha, still called Port Elizabeth by many, is a windy coastal city on Algoa Bay. Suburbs such as Walmer, Summerstrand and Newton Park mix older plastered houses with newer estates, and the Victorian streets of Central carry heritage character. Slate suits entrance halls, patios and pool surrounds, while stone cladding fits wind-exposed boundary walls. Constant salt air and driving wind scour sealers, so reseal outdoor stone more often and rinse with fresh water. Winter cold fronts bring rain that finds weak flashings and wets shaded slate. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver along the coast and to Addo and Jeffreys Bay.
Typical natural stone tiles requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: low-porosity stone with a grippy finish for wet decks, outdoor showers and sandy entrances
- Suburban homes: sandstone or slate tiles through the entrance hall, lounge and onto the covered stoep
- Older and heritage homes: natural stone floors that suit older rooms, passages and verandas with original character
- Security and golf estates: large honed quartzite or travertine tiles flowing from open-plan living areas to the pool deck
- New builds and developments: stone tiles specified early so the screed, falls and finished levels are right
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: durable stone floors for restaurant dining areas, hotel lobbies, showrooms and shop entrances
