Slate, stone and weather in East London
East London is a coastal city on the Buffalo River with suburbs like Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, and holiday homes along the Wild Coast side. Salt air and humidity suit only sealed, non-slip stone outdoors, so slate on decks, patios and pool surrounds should have good falls and regular pH-neutral cleaning. Mould grows quickly on shaded stone, and white efflorescence appears when moisture moves through screeds. Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters, so check drainage near stone walls. Older homes in Vincent and Berea often have tile roofs and slate stoeps. Tile shops, paving yards and merchants serve the city, with deliveries to Gonubie, Kidds Beach and the surrounding farms.
Typical outdoor slate tiles requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: non-slip slate on decks and pool surrounds, sealed against salt air and sand
- Suburban homes: cleft slate on back patios, braai areas and the stoep leading into the garden
- Security and golf estates: dark slate decks and walkways beside pools and entertainment areas in modern estate homes
- Townhouses and complexes: slate on small courtyards and patios, within body corporate or HOA finish rules
- New builds and developments: slate patios planned with falls and drainage as part of the new house build
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate terraces at restaurants, hotels and lodges where guests walk barefoot or in sandals
