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 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate on farmhouse stoeps, lodge terraces and guest house courtyards
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate terraces at restaurants, hotels and lodges where guests walk barefoot or in sandals
- Security and golf estates: dark slate decks and walkways beside pools and entertainment areas in modern estate homes
- New builds and developments: slate patios planned with falls and drainage as part of the new house build
- Older and heritage homes: slate on front verandas and garden paths that match the character of older homes
