Slate, stone and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene and coastal homes at Mtunzini. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain suit slate only when it is well chosen and cared for: sealed, non-slip cleft stone on patios and pool surrounds, with falls so water runs off. Mould and algae grow quickly in shade, and sandy soils shift under paving, so a firm base matters. Salt can attack weak adhesive beds, so use flexible, polymer-modified adhesive. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, while slate, cladding and special orders usually come from Durban and are delivered north.
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
- Security and golf estates: dark slate walls and walk-in showers in a modern, architect-designed estate bathroom
- 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
