Slate, stone and weather in Pinetown
Pinetown sits inland of Durban on the hills, with older suburbs like Cowies Hill and Moseley and leafy neighbours such as Hillcrest and Kloof. Steep stands lead to terraced gardens, retaining walls and split-level patios, which suit stone cladding and slate steps and paving. Warm, humid weather and heavy summer rain mean mould on shaded slate, so falls, drainage and a non-slip finish matter. Cracked paving often traces back to poor drainage behind walls. Townhouse complexes usually need body corporate approval for finishes. Mid-century homes may still carry original tile or slate-look roofs. The industrial areas nearby hold tile suppliers, paving yards and merchants, with quick delivery across the hills.
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
- 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
- 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
