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 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
- Older and heritage homes: clay or slate tiles that match the character of older homes, subject to local rules
- 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: large tile orders for farmhouses, lodges and outbuildings, delivered to remote sites
