Slate, stone and weather in Cape Town
Cape Town mixes mountain, sea and wine-country weather, so slate is used differently by suburb. Atlantic Seaboard homes face salt and wind, Southern Suburbs and Constantia have large gardens, pools and Cape Dutch houses, and Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Observatory still carry original slate or iron roofs. Winter rain and damp keep shaded stone wet, so a non-slip cleft finish, falls and sealing are important. Heritage controls apply to many older buildings. Wind-driven rain finds weak flashings and wet screeds cause efflorescence. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver to the Peninsula, Winelands and West Coast.
Typical slate bathroom tiling requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: sealed slate in a holiday home bathroom that copes with sand, salt air and humidity
- Older and heritage homes: slate floors in a restored bathroom that suits older timber doors and sash windows
- Suburban homes: a slate shower and bathroom floor in a family home renovation with a freestanding bath
- 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
