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 wall tiles requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: a slate feature wall behind the television or beside the fireplace in the family lounge
- Townhouses and complexes: a compact slate feature wall or kitchen splashback that adds depth to a small space
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate walls in farmhouse kitchens, lodge lounges and tasting rooms beside the fire
- 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
- Security and golf estates: full-height textured slate feature walls in entrance halls, stairwells and open-plan living rooms
