Slate, stone and weather in Gqeberha
Gqeberha, still called Port Elizabeth by many, is a windy coastal city on Algoa Bay. Suburbs such as Walmer, Summerstrand and Newton Park mix older plastered houses with newer estates, and the Victorian streets of Central carry heritage character. Slate suits entrance halls, patios and pool surrounds, while stone cladding fits wind-exposed boundary walls. Constant salt air and driving wind scour sealers, so reseal outdoor stone more often and rinse with fresh water. Winter cold fronts bring rain that finds weak flashings and wets shaded slate. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver along the coast and to Addo and Jeffreys Bay.
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
- Security and golf estates: dark slate walls and walk-in showers in a modern, architect-designed estate bathroom
- 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
