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 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
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant and hotel floors with grease, foot traffic and spills built up over time
