Slate, stone and weather in Gqeberha
Gqeberha, still called Port Elizabeth by many, is a windy coastal city on Algoa Bay. Suburbs such as Walmer, Summerstrand and Newton Park mix older plastered houses with newer estates, and the Victorian streets of Central carry heritage character. Slate suits entrance halls, patios and pool surrounds, while stone cladding fits wind-exposed boundary walls. Constant salt air and driving wind scour sealers, so reseal outdoor stone more often and rinse with fresh water. Winter cold fronts bring rain that finds weak flashings and wets shaded slate. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver along the coast and to Addo and Jeffreys Bay.
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
- 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
- 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
