Slate, stone and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the Drakensberg foothills, with older suburbs like Lennoxton and Fernwood and newer complexes. Owners use charcoal and grey slate on entrance halls and lounges, with rustic slate on patios and braai areas. The weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail to cold winters with hard frost, so outdoor stone must be dense, well sealed and laid on a solid bed with movement joints. Hail bruises roof tiles and fibre-cement slate-look sheets, and older ones may contain asbestos. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate and paving, with larger orders delivered from Gauteng or Durban.
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
- Townhouses and complexes: slate floor tiles in a compact en-suite, with noise and body corporate rules in mind
- Older and heritage homes: slate floors in a restored bathroom that suits older timber doors and sash windows
- 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate in a lodge or guest house bathroom, matching the stone and timber around it
