Slate, stone and weather in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, with leafy older suburbs such as Westdene, Waverley and Universitas, plus newer estates around Langenhovenpark and Bainsvlei. Older sandstone and plastered houses sit beside modern homes that use slate for entrance halls, lounges, patios and feature walls. Free State winters bring hard frost, which can crack thin or porous outdoor tiles and lift paving laid on a poor bed. Summer hail damages roof tiles and slate-look sheets. Clay soils move, so use flexible adhesive and movement joints. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants are well spread across the city, and suppliers can deliver across the central Free State.
Typical slate pool surrounds requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: a slate deck around the family pool with a braai area and shaded loungers close by
- Older and heritage homes: slate coping and paving that suits a restored garden and an older home with character
- Security and golf estates: matching slate paving from the entertainment patio to the pool edge in a modern home
- Townhouses and complexes: a small slate plunge pool deck on a courtyard, subject to body corporate approval
- New builds and developments: pool coping and deck slate planned with the builder so falls and levels are right first time
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: non-slip slate decking for hotel, lodge or restaurant pools used by guests every day
