Slate, stone and weather in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from the windy coast around Gqeberha and East London to the cooler Karoo-edge towns inland. Coastal homes and holiday houses use slate around pools and on decks, where salt air and sand wear sealers quickly. Makhanda and Komani have older sandstone and Victorian homes, and some heritage roofs. Inland, frost and summer storms test outdoor paving and roofs. Farmhouses and guest lodges favour rustic slate and stone cladding. Tile shops and paving yards are in the main centres, with delivery by truck to smaller towns and 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
- Older and heritage homes: slate floors in a restored bathroom that suits older timber doors and sash windows
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate in a lodge or guest house bathroom, matching the stone and timber around it
- New builds and developments: slate planned with the builder for screed levels, waterproofing and drains before tiling starts
- Townhouses and complexes: slate floor tiles in a compact en-suite, with noise and body corporate rules in mind
