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 pool surrounds requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: slate coping and paving that suits a restored garden and an older home with character
- Suburban homes: a slate deck around the family pool with a braai area and shaded loungers close by
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: non-slip slate decking for hotel, lodge or restaurant pools used by guests every day
- 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
- Security and golf estates: matching slate paving from the entertainment patio to the pool edge in a modern home
