Slate, stone and weather in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a historic Boer War town on the Klip River, with older sandstone and brick buildings in the centre and suburbs such as Model Park. Heritage houses have thick walls, verandahs and timber floors, where slate suits stoeps, hearths and entrance halls, and local sandstone suits repair work. Owners should check heritage rules before altering older exteriors. Summers are hot with strong storms and hail, and winters bring frost, so outdoor tiles need a flexible adhesive, a solid bed and sealing. Lodges and farms towards the Drakensberg foothills use rustic slate and stone cladding. Local merchants stock basic tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Newcastle, Pietermaritzburg or Gauteng.
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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate in a lodge or guest house bathroom, matching the stone and timber around it
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: hard-wearing slate in hotel, lodge and restaurant bathrooms that see heavy use every day
- 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
