Slate, stone and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town on the Kalahari edge, with newer face-brick houses, complexes and lodges around the camel thorn veld. Owners use slate and stone on patios, pool surrounds, carports and entrance halls, and rustic stone suits the red sand surroundings. Summers are fiercely hot, so dark slate can burn bare feet in full sun, and UV breaks down sealers fast. Cold winter nights and rare heavy storms add movement, so use flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints. Dust makes honed or sealed floors easier to keep clean. Local merchants stock basic tiles, but slate, cladding and special orders are delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
Typical slate roof tiles requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: natural slate re-roofing on a family home, chosen for its long life and quiet colour
- Townhouses and complexes: matching slate roofs across a cluster, usually after trustee or HOA approval of the material
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: slate roofs on farmhouses, lodges and guest houses where a natural stone look suits the setting
- New builds and developments: slate specified at design stage so trusses and battens are built for the extra weight
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate roofing on hotels, restaurants and showrooms that want a lasting, high-end roof
- Security and golf estates: charcoal slate roofs on architect-designed estate homes that must satisfy design guidelines
