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 roofing accessories requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: re-roofing family homes with new underlay, battens and fixings under slate or tiles
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: supplying large quantities of underlay and battens for farmhouse, barn and lodge roofs
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: supplying roofing accessories in bulk for hotels, restaurants and offices with large roofs
- Security and golf estates: supplying underlay, flashing and fixings for architect-designed roofs on estates
- New builds and developments: supplying underlay, battens and fixings to roofers working on new houses and developments
- Older and heritage homes: supplying copper nails, hooks and flashing for restoring old natural slate roofs
