Natural Stone Tiles for Upington projects
Natural stone behaves differently from town to town. In Upington, 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 Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: hard-wearing stone floors for farmhouse kitchens, guest rooms, lodge lounges and tasting rooms
- 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
- New builds and developments: stone tiles specified early so the screed, falls and finished levels are right
- Older and heritage homes: natural stone floors that suit older rooms, passages and verandas with original character
