Slate, stone and weather in Worcester
Worcester is a Breede River Valley town surrounded by vineyards, orchards and mountains, with older Cape Dutch and Victorian homes and newer complexes. Slate and stone are used on stoeps, courtyards, entrance halls and farm-stall and cellar floors. Summers are very hot and dry, so sealers fade on open terraces and dark slate gets hot in direct sun, while winter brings cold rain, frost and occasional snow on nearby peaks. Frost can crack thin or poorly bedded outdoor tiles, so use dense stone, flexible adhesive and a full bed. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings. Tile shops and merchants serve the town, with larger slate orders delivered from Paarl or Cape Town.
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
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: a slate fireplace feature in a restaurant, hotel lounge or lodge reception
- New builds and developments: slate surround planned with the builder so the chimney, hearth and wall are ready
- Security and golf estates: a full-height black slate chimney breast in a modern open-plan lounge on an estate
