Slate, stone and weather in East London
East London is a coastal city on the Buffalo River with suburbs like Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, and holiday homes along the Wild Coast side. Salt air and humidity suit only sealed, non-slip stone outdoors, so slate on decks, patios and pool surrounds should have good falls and regular pH-neutral cleaning. Mould grows quickly on shaded stone, and white efflorescence appears when moisture moves through screeds. Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters, so check drainage near stone walls. Older homes in Vincent and Berea often have tile roofs and slate stoeps. Tile shops, paving yards and merchants serve the city, with deliveries to Gonubie, Kidds Beach and the surrounding farms.
Typical slate pool surrounds requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: salt-resistant sealed slate around a holiday home pool, with wet feet and sand in mind
- Suburban homes: a slate deck around the family pool with a braai area and shaded loungers close by
- 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
