Slate, stone and weather in Sasolburg
Sasolburg grew around the chemical works on the Vaal River, with planned suburbs of brick houses and townhouse complexes, plus holiday and weekend homes near the Vaal Dam. Slate suits braai areas, decks, pool surrounds and entrance halls, and stone cladding is common on boundary walls and pillars. Winter frost on the Highveld can crack thin outdoor tiles, so a solid adhesive bed and sealing are important. Industrial dust and storms with hail dull unsealed stone and bruise roofs. Older houses with slate-look fibre-cement roofs may contain asbestos and need checking. Local merchants stock tiles and paving, with bigger stone orders delivered from Vanderbijlpark or Johannesburg yards.
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
