Slate, stone and weather in Cape Town
Cape Town mixes mountain, sea and wine-country weather, so slate is used differently by suburb. Atlantic Seaboard homes face salt and wind, Southern Suburbs and Constantia have large gardens, pools and Cape Dutch houses, and Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Observatory still carry original slate or iron roofs. Winter rain and damp keep shaded stone wet, so a non-slip cleft finish, falls and sealing are important. Heritage controls apply to many older buildings. Wind-driven rain finds weak flashings and wet screeds cause efflorescence. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver to the Peninsula, Winelands and West Coast.
Typical slate cleaning and restoration requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: salt-stained decks and patios where sand, spray and sun have worn the sealer
- Older and heritage homes: original slate floors and verandas with generations of polish, wax and dirt to remove
- Suburban homes: dull patios, stoeps and kitchen floors that have gone patchy after years of use
- Security and golf estates: large pool decks and entrance floors that need a uniform, even finish again
- Townhouses and complexes: shared courtyards and private patios where moss and stains build up in shade
- New builds and developments: new slate floors with cement haze and grout residue left behind after tiling
