Slate, stone and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town or Gauteng.
Typical slate floor tiles requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: grey slate floors running through the kitchen, dining room and lounge of family homes
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: tough slate floors in farmhouse kitchens, boot rooms and guest lodges used every day
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate floors in restaurants, hotel lobbies and showrooms that see heavy foot traffic
- Security and golf estates: large honed slate floor tiles across open-plan living areas in modern estate homes
- New builds and developments: slate floors specified early so screed levels and doorways suit the finished tile
- Older and heritage homes: slate hall and passage floors that suit original woodwork and high ceilings

- Say if you want supply only or tiling and sealing as well.
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
