Slate, stone and weather in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal mixes humid coast, warm midlands and cool Berg foothills, so slate is chosen for different reasons. On the coast, salt air and humidity call for good sealing and a non-slip cleft finish around pools and decks. Heavy summer rain and humidity grow algae on shaded paving. Midlands homes and lodges use slate and stone cladding for fireplaces and entrance halls, and Pietermaritzburg has older character homes. Tile shops and stone yards are concentrated around Durban and Pietermaritzburg, with delivery to the North and South Coasts and outlying farms.
Typical slate roofing requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: slate roofing fixed with copper or stainless nails and detailed for wind and salt air
- Suburban homes: a new slate roof on a family home, replacing worn concrete tiles or old sheeting
- Security and golf estates: steep black slate roofs on architect-designed estate homes, laid to strict design guidelines
- 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
- Older and heritage homes: full or partial slate roof renewal on older homes, matched to original colour and pitch
