Slate, stone and weather in Kimberley
Kimberley is a historic diamond city with Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia, Kimberley North and around the Big Hole. Most old roofs are corrugated iron, but slate and stone appear on verandah floors, hearths, thick-walled facades and the occasional original slate roof. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings, so check before changing exteriors. The dry Karoo-edge climate brings very hot summers, frosty winter nights and sudden storms, which stress outdoor tiles and sealers. Shifting soils call for a solid bed and movement joints. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate, with larger orders and cladding delivered from Bloemfontein, Johannesburg or Cape Town.
Typical slate bathroom tiling requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: hard-wearing slate in hotel, lodge and restaurant bathrooms that see heavy use every day
- 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
- Security and golf estates: dark slate walls and walk-in showers in a modern, architect-designed estate bathroom
