Slate, stone and weather in Brits
Brits lies on the Crocodile River flats between Pretoria and Rustenburg, close to the Hartbeespoort holiday belt, so slate shows up on braai areas, pool surrounds and stone-clad entrances of weekend houses and smallholdings. Black cotton soil in parts of the district swells and shrinks, which cracks rigid floors and paving unless the bed is solid and movement joints are cut. Highveld hail damages roof tiles and slate-look sheets, and strong sun fades unsealed stone on open patios. Local tile shops and builders' merchants stock common slate and paving, while Pretoria yards supply larger or special orders and deliver to farms and estates around the dam.
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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: a rustic slate chimney breast in a farmhouse, lodge or guest house lounge
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: a slate fireplace feature in a restaurant, hotel lounge or lodge reception
- Older and heritage homes: slate around a restored period fireplace in an older home with a pressed ceiling
