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 rustic slate tiles requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: rustic slate on braai patios, entrance halls and kitchen floors that need warmth
- Townhouses and complexes: rustic slate on small patios and hearths, with colours agreed with the body corporate
- Older and heritage homes: warm copper and rust slate floors that suit face brick and timber in older homes
- New builds and developments: rustic slate chosen with face brick and timber so colours work together in the new house
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: multicolour slate floors and walls in restaurants, lodges and boutique hotels
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate in farmhouse kitchens, lodge stoeps and wine estate tasting rooms
