Slate, stone and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town on the Kalahari edge, with newer face-brick houses, complexes and lodges around the camel thorn veld. Owners use slate and stone on patios, pool surrounds, carports and entrance halls, and rustic stone suits the red sand surroundings. Summers are fiercely hot, so dark slate can burn bare feet in full sun, and UV breaks down sealers fast. Cold winter nights and rare heavy storms add movement, so use flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints. Dust makes honed or sealed floors easier to keep clean. Local merchants stock basic tiles, but slate, cladding and special orders are delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
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
- Townhouses and complexes: a small slate paver patio or stepping stone path, within body corporate rules
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate pavers for farmyard paths, lodge walkways, wine estate courtyards and guest house 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
- Security and golf estates: sawn grey slate paving slabs for courtyards, pool decks and neat garden paths
