Slate, stone and weather in Kimberley
Kimberley is a historic diamond city with Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia, Kimberley North and around the Big Hole. Most old roofs are corrugated iron, but slate and stone appear on verandah floors, hearths, thick-walled facades and the occasional original slate roof. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings, so check before changing exteriors. The dry Karoo-edge climate brings very hot summers, frosty winter nights and sudden storms, which stress outdoor tiles and sealers. Shifting soils call for a solid bed and movement joints. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate, with larger orders and cladding delivered from Bloemfontein, Johannesburg or Cape Town.
Typical slate patio and paving installation requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant terraces, hotel courtyards and garden walkways that carry plenty of foot traffic
- 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
- Security and golf estates: large entertainment patios, pool decks and entrance paths in modern designs
