Slate, stone and weather in Free State
Free State homes face cold, frosty winters and hot, stormy summers, which is hard on outdoor stone. Frost lifts poorly bedded paving and cracks tiles laid on weak screeds, so flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints matter. Hail damages roof slates and tiles across the open plains. Bloemfontein has older sandstone and Victorian-era houses, while farmhouses and guest lodges use slate and stone cladding on verandas and fireplaces. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants cluster in the larger towns, and delivery to farms and smaller towns is routine.
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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate pavers for farmyard paths, lodge walkways, wine estate courtyards and guest house gardens
- Older and heritage homes: crazy paving slate for garden paths and stoeps that suit older homes and mature gardens
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: a small slate paver patio or stepping stone path, within body corporate rules
