Slate, stone and weather in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town laid out in circular suburbs, and many uniform mine-era brick houses are now being renovated. Owners replace worn lounge and passage floors with charcoal or grey slate, add slate to stoeps and braai areas, and clad garden walls and entrances in stone. Flat Free State plains bring hard winter frost, so outdoor tiles need frost-tolerant, well-sealed stone and a solid bed. Summer hail marks old tile and fibre-cement roofs, and slate-look sheets from earlier decades may contain asbestos, so have them checked before any work. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, with larger slate orders delivered from Bloemfontein.
Typical slate tile sealing requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: kitchen floors, entrance halls and patios that see daily foot traffic and braai splashes
- Older and heritage homes: old slate floors and stoeps that have lost their sealer and gone dry and patchy
- Townhouses and complexes: small courtyards, entrance floors and bathrooms where a quick, tidy job is needed
- New builds and developments: new slate floors sealed after grouting and before the owners move in
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant and hotel floors that need protection from grease, spills and constant cleaning
- Security and golf estates: large open floors, feature walls and pool decks where a consistent finish matters
