Slate, stone and weather in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town laid out in circular suburbs, and many uniform mine-era brick houses are now being renovated. Owners replace worn lounge and passage floors with charcoal or grey slate, add slate to stoeps and braai areas, and clad garden walls and entrances in stone. Flat Free State plains bring hard winter frost, so outdoor tiles need frost-tolerant, well-sealed stone and a solid bed. Summer hail marks old tile and fibre-cement roofs, and slate-look sheets from earlier decades may contain asbestos, so have them checked before any work. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, with larger slate orders delivered from Bloemfontein.
Typical slate patio and paving installation requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: back patios, stoeps and braai areas, plus garden paths and entrance steps
- Older and heritage homes: verandas, stoeps and garden paths in older gardens, with slate that suits the house
- 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
- Security and golf estates: large entertainment patios, pool decks and entrance paths in modern designs
