Slate, stone and weather in Bellville
Bellville is the commercial centre of the Northern Suburbs, with older homes in Boston, Welgemoed and Oakdale, plus many complexes, offices and showrooms. Houses are mainly brick and plaster with tiled roofs, and owners use slate on patios, entrance halls and braai areas, with stone cladding on feature walls and garden boundaries. Cape winter rain and cold fronts keep outdoor stone damp, so falls, drainage and sealing matter, while hot dry summers fade sealers on exposed patios. Sandy soils can shift under paving. Body corporates usually approve finishes before work starts. Industrial areas such as Stikland hold tile suppliers, paving yards and merchants, with quick delivery across the Cape Town metro.
Typical slate fireplace requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: a slate surround and hearth in the family lounge, ready for cold Highveld evenings
- Townhouses and complexes: a compact slate hearth and surround in a townhouse lounge, within complex rules
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: a slate fireplace feature in a restaurant, hotel lounge or lodge reception
- Security and golf estates: a full-height black slate chimney breast in a modern open-plan lounge on an estate
- New builds and developments: slate surround planned with the builder so the chimney, hearth and wall are ready
- Older and heritage homes: slate around a restored period fireplace in an older home with a pressed ceiling
