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 cleaning and restoration requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: dull patios, stoeps and kitchen floors that have gone patchy after years of use
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: dusty stoeps, lodge floors and braai areas with ground-in dirt and grease marks
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant and hotel floors with grease, foot traffic and spills built up over time
- Security and golf estates: large pool decks and entrance floors that need a uniform, even finish again
- New builds and developments: new slate floors with cement haze and grout residue left behind after tiling
- Older and heritage homes: original slate floors and verandas with generations of polish, wax and dirt to remove

- Say when the slate was last cleaned or sealed, if you know.
