Slate, stone and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the Drakensberg foothills, with older suburbs like Lennoxton and Fernwood and newer complexes. Owners use charcoal and grey slate on entrance halls and lounges, with rustic slate on patios and braai areas. The weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail to cold winters with hard frost, so outdoor stone must be dense, well sealed and laid on a solid bed with movement joints. Hail bruises roof tiles and fibre-cement slate-look sheets, and older ones may contain asbestos. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate and paving, with larger orders delivered from Gauteng or Durban.
Typical outdoor slate tiles requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: cleft slate on back patios, braai areas and the stoep leading into the garden
- Townhouses and complexes: slate on small courtyards and patios, within body corporate or HOA finish rules
- Older and heritage homes: slate on front verandas and garden paths that match the character of older homes
- 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate on farmhouse stoeps, lodge terraces and guest house courtyards

The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
