Slate, stone and weather in Gqeberha
Gqeberha, still called Port Elizabeth by many, is a windy coastal city on Algoa Bay. Suburbs such as Walmer, Summerstrand and Newton Park mix older plastered houses with newer estates, and the Victorian streets of Central carry heritage character. Slate suits entrance halls, patios and pool surrounds, while stone cladding fits wind-exposed boundary walls. Constant salt air and driving wind scour sealers, so reseal outdoor stone more often and rinse with fresh water. Winter cold fronts bring rain that finds weak flashings and wets shaded slate. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver along the coast and to Addo and Jeffreys Bay.
Typical slate wall tiles requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: sealed slate walls in outdoor showers, patios and braai areas exposed to salt air
- Suburban homes: a slate feature wall behind the television or beside the fireplace in the family lounge
- Older and heritage homes: honed slate panels beside fireplaces and in kitchens that respect the character of the house
- Security and golf estates: full-height textured slate feature walls in entrance halls, stairwells and open-plan living rooms
- New builds and developments: slate wall tiles planned early so walls are flat, waterproofed and ready to tile
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate feature walls behind reception desks, bars, restaurant booths and hotel lobbies
