Slate, stone and weather in Johannesburg
Johannesburg has one of the deepest slate and stone markets in the country. Older northern suburbs and Parktown-era homes include heritage slate roofs, while newer estates use slate for entrance halls, patios, pool surrounds and braai walls. Highveld hail can crack roof slates, summer storms drive water across stoeps, and winter frost punishes loose paving. Dry winters also dry out sealers, so re-sealing is common. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread from Sandton to the West Rand, and delivery across the metro is standard.
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
- Security and golf estates: a full-height black slate chimney breast in a modern open-plan lounge on an estate
- Older and heritage homes: slate around a restored period fireplace in an older home with a pressed ceiling
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: a slate fireplace feature in a restaurant, hotel lounge or lodge reception
