Slate, stone and weather in East London
East London is a coastal city on the Buffalo River with suburbs like Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, and holiday homes along the Wild Coast side. Salt air and humidity suit only sealed, non-slip stone outdoors, so slate on decks, patios and pool surrounds should have good falls and regular pH-neutral cleaning. Mould grows quickly on shaded stone, and white efflorescence appears when moisture moves through screeds. Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters, so check drainage near stone walls. Older homes in Vincent and Berea often have tile roofs and slate stoeps. Tile shops, paving yards and merchants serve the city, with deliveries to Gonubie, Kidds Beach and the surrounding farms.
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
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: hard-wearing slate in hotel, lodge and restaurant bathrooms that see heavy use every day
