Slate, stone and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene and coastal homes at Mtunzini. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain suit slate only when it is well chosen and cared for: sealed, non-slip cleft stone on patios and pool surrounds, with falls so water runs off. Mould and algae grow quickly in shade, and sandy soils shift under paving, so a firm base matters. Salt can attack weak adhesive beds, so use flexible, polymer-modified adhesive. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, while slate, cladding and special orders usually come from Durban and are delivered north.
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
