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 pavers requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: sealed slate pavers with a grippy face for sandy paths, decks and beach access steps
- Suburban homes: slate pavers for the garden path, front entrance and braai patio of a family home
- 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
