Slate, stone and weather in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from the windy coast around Gqeberha and East London to the cooler Karoo-edge towns inland. Coastal homes and holiday houses use slate around pools and on decks, where salt air and sand wear sealers quickly. Makhanda and Komani have older sandstone and Victorian homes, and some heritage roofs. Inland, frost and summer storms test outdoor paving and roofs. Farmhouses and guest lodges favour rustic slate and stone cladding. Tile shops and paving yards are in the main centres, with delivery by truck to smaller towns and farms.
Typical slate fireplace requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: a slate fireplace in a holiday home lounge, sealed against damp sea air
- Suburban homes: a slate surround and hearth in the family lounge, ready for cold Highveld evenings
- Older and heritage homes: slate around a restored period fireplace in an older home with a pressed ceiling
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: a rustic slate chimney breast in a farmhouse, lodge or guest house lounge
- New builds and developments: slate surround planned with the builder so the chimney, hearth and wall are ready
- Townhouses and complexes: a compact slate hearth and surround in a townhouse lounge, within complex rules
