Slate, stone and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town on the Kalahari edge, with newer face-brick houses, complexes and lodges around the camel thorn veld. Owners use slate and stone on patios, pool surrounds, carports and entrance halls, and rustic stone suits the red sand surroundings. Summers are fiercely hot, so dark slate can burn bare feet in full sun, and UV breaks down sealers fast. Cold winter nights and rare heavy storms add movement, so use flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints. Dust makes honed or sealed floors easier to keep clean. Local merchants stock basic tiles, but slate, cladding and special orders are delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
Typical slate tiles requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: patios, entrance halls, braai areas and lounges, often with a slate feature wall or step treads
- Townhouses and complexes: small courtyards, kitchens and bathrooms, with finishes that must suit the body corporate or HOA rules
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: hard-wearing slate and stone for farmhouse stoeps, lodges, tasting rooms and guest cottages
- New builds and developments: slate floors, cladding and roofs specified by architects and installed by contractors on new houses
- 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
