Slate, stone and weather in Cape Town
Cape Town mixes mountain, sea and wine-country weather, so slate is used differently by suburb. Atlantic Seaboard homes face salt and wind, Southern Suburbs and Constantia have large gardens, pools and Cape Dutch houses, and Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Observatory still carry original slate or iron roofs. Winter rain and damp keep shaded stone wet, so a non-slip cleft finish, falls and sealing are important. Heritage controls apply to many older buildings. Wind-driven rain finds weak flashings and wet screeds cause efflorescence. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver to the Peninsula, Winelands and West Coast.
Typical slate patio and paving installation requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: decks, patios and outdoor showers that must handle sand, salt air and wet feet
- Older and heritage homes: verandas, stoeps and garden paths in older gardens, with slate that suits the house
- Suburban homes: back patios, stoeps and braai areas, plus garden paths and entrance steps
- Security and golf estates: large entertainment patios, pool decks and entrance paths in modern designs
- Townhouses and complexes: small private courtyards and patios, within what the body corporate allows
- New builds and developments: patios and paths laid at the end of the build, once levels and drainage are set
