Slate, stone and weather in Johannesburg
Johannesburg has one of the deepest slate and stone markets in the country. Older northern suburbs and Parktown-era homes include heritage slate roofs, while newer estates use slate for entrance halls, patios, pool surrounds and braai walls. Highveld hail can crack roof slates, summer storms drive water across stoeps, and winter frost punishes loose paving. Dry winters also dry out sealers, so re-sealing is common. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread from Sandton to the West Rand, and delivery across the metro is standard.
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
- Security and golf estates: dark slate walls and walk-in showers in a modern, architect-designed estate bathroom
- Older and heritage homes: slate floors in a restored bathroom that suits older timber doors and sash windows
- 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
