Natural Stone Tiles for Kimberley projects
Natural stone behaves differently from town to town. In Kimberley, the climate in Northern Cape, from frost and hail to coastal salt or summer storms, affects which stone lasts. Local stone and tile suppliers know what works there and can deliver. Tell us the stone you like and where it goes.

Slate, stone and weather in Kimberley
Kimberley is a historic diamond city with Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia, Kimberley North and around the Big Hole. Most old roofs are corrugated iron, but slate and stone appear on verandah floors, hearths, thick-walled facades and the occasional original slate roof. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings, so check before changing exteriors. The dry Karoo-edge climate brings very hot summers, frosty winter nights and sudden storms, which stress outdoor tiles and sealers. Shifting soils call for a solid bed and movement joints. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate, with larger orders and cladding delivered from Bloemfontein, Johannesburg or Cape Town.
Typical natural stone tiles requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: natural stone floors that suit older rooms, passages and verandas with original character
- Suburban homes: sandstone or slate tiles through the entrance hall, lounge and onto the covered stoep
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: durable stone floors for restaurant dining areas, hotel lobbies, showrooms and shop entrances
- Townhouses and complexes: a single matching stone tile for the small lounge, patio and braai courtyard
- 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
