Slate, stone and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town on the Kalahari edge, with newer face-brick houses, complexes and lodges around the camel thorn veld. Owners use slate and stone on patios, pool surrounds, carports and entrance halls, and rustic stone suits the red sand surroundings. Summers are fiercely hot, so dark slate can burn bare feet in full sun, and UV breaks down sealers fast. Cold winter nights and rare heavy storms add movement, so use flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints. Dust makes honed or sealed floors easier to keep clean. Local merchants stock basic tiles, but slate, cladding and special orders are delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
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
- Townhouses and complexes: a single matching stone tile for the small lounge, patio and braai courtyard
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: durable stone floors for restaurant dining areas, hotel lobbies, showrooms and shop entrances
- Security and golf estates: large honed quartzite or travertine tiles flowing from open-plan living areas to the pool deck
