Slate, stone and weather in George
George lies between the Outeniqua mountains and the Garden Route coast, with leafy suburbs like Heatherlands, Dormehls Drift and Blanco, golf estates, and holiday homes near Wilderness and Herolds Bay. The climate is mild but wet, with rain at any time of year, so slate on decks, patios and pool surrounds needs a non-slip finish, proper falls and regular cleaning to keep moss and algae down. Coastal homes also face salt. Estates and holiday houses favour stone cladding and slate on feature walls and entrances. Tile shops, paving yards and merchants serve the area, with deliveries to Knysna, Mossel Bay and the Little Karoo.
Typical slate fireplace requests in the area come from:
- Security and golf estates: a full-height black slate chimney breast in a modern open-plan lounge on an estate
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: a compact slate hearth and surround in a townhouse lounge, within complex rules
- 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
