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 roof tiles requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: salt-tolerant tile choices and fixings for roofs exposed to wind, humidity and sea air
- Suburban homes: re-tiling a family home roof, often moving from worn concrete to a new colour
- Security and golf estates: roof tiles chosen from the approved colours and profiles in the estate design guidelines
- Townhouses and complexes: matching tiles across a complex, ordered from one batch and agreed with the body corporate
- 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
