Slate, stone and weather in Worcester
Worcester is a Breede River Valley town surrounded by vineyards, orchards and mountains, with older Cape Dutch and Victorian homes and newer complexes. Slate and stone are used on stoeps, courtyards, entrance halls and farm-stall and cellar floors. Summers are very hot and dry, so sealers fade on open terraces and dark slate gets hot in direct sun, while winter brings cold rain, frost and occasional snow on nearby peaks. Frost can crack thin or poorly bedded outdoor tiles, so use dense stone, flexible adhesive and a full bed. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings. Tile shops and merchants serve the town, with larger slate orders delivered from Paarl or Cape Town.
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
- Older and heritage homes: full or partial slate roof renewal on older homes, matched to original colour and pitch
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: slate roofs on farmhouses, lodges and wine estates where the roof is part of the character
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate roofing on hotels, restaurants and boutique offices wanting a lasting premium finish
- New builds and developments: slate planned from the plans stage so trusses, battens and pitch suit the material
- Security and golf estates: steep black slate roofs on architect-designed estate homes, laid to strict design guidelines
