Slate, stone and weather in Kimberley
Kimberley is a historic diamond city with Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia, Kimberley North and around the Big Hole. Most old roofs are corrugated iron, but slate and stone appear on verandah floors, hearths, thick-walled facades and the occasional original slate roof. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings, so check before changing exteriors. The dry Karoo-edge climate brings very hot summers, frosty winter nights and sudden storms, which stress outdoor tiles and sealers. Shifting soils call for a solid bed and movement joints. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate, with larger orders and cladding delivered from Bloemfontein, Johannesburg or Cape Town.
Typical slate pavers requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: crazy paving slate for garden paths and stoeps that suit older homes and mature gardens
- Suburban homes: slate pavers for the garden path, front entrance and braai patio of a family home
- 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
- New builds and developments: slate paving planned with levels and drainage so falls and bases are right from the start
- Security and golf estates: sawn grey slate paving slabs for courtyards, pool decks and neat garden paths
