Slate, stone and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town or Gauteng.
Typical tilers for slate tile installation requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: patios, entrance halls, braai areas and lounges, often with a slate feature wall or step treads
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: hard-wearing slate and stone for farmhouse stoeps, lodges, tasting rooms and guest cottages
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: heavy-traffic slate floors, cladding and paving for restaurants, hotels, offices and shopping centres
- Security and golf estates: large-format slate floors flowing from inside to the pool deck, feature walls and stone-clad entrances
- New builds and developments: slate floors, cladding and roofs specified by architects and installed by contractors on new houses
- Older and heritage homes: repairs to natural slate roofs and matching old slate floors and stoeps on older character homes
