Slate, stone and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town or Gauteng.
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
- 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
- Security and golf estates: dark slate walls and walk-in showers in a modern, architect-designed estate bathroom
- New builds and developments: slate planned with the builder for screed levels, waterproofing and drains before tiling starts
- Older and heritage homes: slate floors in a restored bathroom that suits older timber doors and sash windows
