Slate, stone and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the Drakensberg foothills, with older suburbs like Lennoxton and Fernwood and newer complexes. Owners use charcoal and grey slate on entrance halls and lounges, with rustic slate on patios and braai areas. The weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail to cold winters with hard frost, so outdoor stone must be dense, well sealed and laid on a solid bed with movement joints. Hail bruises roof tiles and fibre-cement slate-look sheets, and older ones may contain asbestos. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate and paving, with larger orders delivered from Gauteng or Durban.
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
- 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate pavers for farmyard paths, lodge walkways, wine estate courtyards and guest house gardens
