Slate, stone and weather in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town laid out in circular suburbs, and many uniform mine-era brick houses are now being renovated. Owners replace worn lounge and passage floors with charcoal or grey slate, add slate to stoeps and braai areas, and clad garden walls and entrances in stone. Flat Free State plains bring hard winter frost, so outdoor tiles need frost-tolerant, well-sealed stone and a solid bed. Summer hail marks old tile and fibre-cement roofs, and slate-look sheets from earlier decades may contain asbestos, so have them checked before any work. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, with larger slate orders delivered from Bloemfontein.
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
- Older and heritage homes: crazy paving slate for garden paths and stoeps that suit older homes and mature gardens
- 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
- 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
