Slate, stone and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town on the Kalahari edge, with newer face-brick houses, complexes and lodges around the camel thorn veld. Owners use slate and stone on patios, pool surrounds, carports and entrance halls, and rustic stone suits the red sand surroundings. Summers are fiercely hot, so dark slate can burn bare feet in full sun, and UV breaks down sealers fast. Cold winter nights and rare heavy storms add movement, so use flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints. Dust makes honed or sealed floors easier to keep clean. Local merchants stock basic tiles, but slate, cladding and special orders are delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
Typical roof tiles requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: re-tiling a family home roof, often moving from worn concrete to a new colour
- Townhouses and complexes: matching tiles across a complex, ordered from one batch and agreed with the body corporate
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: large tile orders for farmhouses, lodges and outbuildings, delivered to remote sites
- New builds and developments: tiles ordered to match the plans, with pallets delivered when the trusses are ready
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: roof tiles for restaurants, hotels and offices, with delivery timed around trading
- Security and golf estates: roof tiles chosen from the approved colours and profiles in the estate design guidelines
