Slate, stone and weather in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, with leafy older suburbs such as Westdene, Waverley and Universitas, plus newer estates around Langenhovenpark and Bainsvlei. Older sandstone and plastered houses sit beside modern homes that use slate for entrance halls, lounges, patios and feature walls. Free State winters bring hard frost, which can crack thin or porous outdoor tiles and lift paving laid on a poor bed. Summer hail damages roof tiles and slate-look sheets. Clay soils move, so use flexible adhesive and movement joints. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants are well spread across the city, and suppliers can deliver across the central Free State.
Typical slate pavers requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: slate pavers for the garden path, front entrance and braai patio of a family home
- Older and heritage homes: crazy paving slate for garden paths and stoeps that suit older homes and mature gardens
- Security and golf estates: sawn grey slate paving slabs for courtyards, pool decks and neat garden paths
- Townhouses and complexes: a small slate paver patio or stepping stone path, within body corporate rules
- New builds and developments: slate paving planned with levels and drainage so falls and bases are right from the start
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: hard-wearing slate pavers for restaurant terraces, hotel gardens, entrance paths and courtyards
