Slate, stone and weather in Durban
Durban is a warm, humid coastal city where slate is used on verandahs, pool decks, bathrooms and feature walls from Umhlanga and Berea to Westville. Salt air, heavy summer rain and constant humidity grow mould and algae on shaded stone, so choose a non-slip cleft finish, give outdoor areas proper falls and clean with pH-neutral products. Sealing protects against salt and stains, and moisture rising through screeds can cause white efflorescence. Flat roofs and balconies need sound waterproofing under tiles. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread across the metro, and many suppliers deliver to the South Coast, North Coast and inland hills.
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
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant terraces, hotel courtyards and garden walkways that carry plenty of foot traffic
