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 roofing requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: a new slate roof on a family home, replacing worn concrete tiles or old sheeting
- Townhouses and complexes: slate roofing across a townhouse block, agreed with the body corporate and done in one phase
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: slate roofs on farmhouses, lodges and wine estates where the roof is part of the character
- New builds and developments: slate planned from the plans stage so trusses, battens and pitch suit the material
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate roofing on hotels, restaurants and boutique offices wanting a lasting premium finish
- Security and golf estates: steep black slate roofs on architect-designed estate homes, laid to strict design guidelines
