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 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: large tile orders for farmhouses, lodges and outbuildings, delivered to remote sites
- 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
- New builds and developments: tiles ordered to match the plans, with pallets delivered when the trusses are ready
- Older and heritage homes: clay or slate tiles that match the character of older homes, subject to local rules
