Slate, stone and weather in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, with leafy older suburbs such as Westdene, Waverley and Universitas, plus newer estates around Langenhovenpark and Bainsvlei. Older sandstone and plastered houses sit beside modern homes that use slate for entrance halls, lounges, patios and feature walls. Free State winters bring hard frost, which can crack thin or porous outdoor tiles and lift paving laid on a poor bed. Summer hail damages roof tiles and slate-look sheets. Clay soils move, so use flexible adhesive and movement joints. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants are well spread across the city, and suppliers can deliver across the central Free State.
Typical slate bathroom tiling requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: a slate shower and bathroom floor in a family home renovation with a freestanding bath
- Older and heritage homes: slate floors in a restored bathroom that suits older timber doors and sash windows
- Security and golf estates: dark slate walls and walk-in showers in a modern, architect-designed estate bathroom
- Townhouses and complexes: slate floor tiles in a compact en-suite, with noise and body corporate rules in mind
- New builds and developments: slate planned with the builder for screed levels, waterproofing and drains before tiling starts
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: hard-wearing slate in hotel, lodge and restaurant bathrooms that see heavy use every day
