Slate, stone and weather in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, is a motor-industry town at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with older central suburbs, newer estates and farms along the Sundays River and Addo. Many homes are single-storey plastered or face-brick houses with tiled roofs, and owners add slate to entrance halls, stoeps and braai areas. Heritage buildings in the central area suit careful stone and slate repairs. The climate is dry and warm with sudden cold fronts and strong winds, so dust and sun wear sealers quickly. Lodges and farm stays near Addo favour rustic stone. Local merchants stock common tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Gqeberha.
Typical natural stone tiles requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: hard-wearing stone floors for farmhouse kitchens, guest rooms, lodge lounges and tasting rooms
- New builds and developments: stone tiles specified early so the screed, falls and finished levels are right
- Security and golf estates: large honed quartzite or travertine tiles flowing from open-plan living areas to the pool deck
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: durable stone floors for restaurant dining areas, hotel lobbies, showrooms and shop entrances
