Slate Wall Tiles for Kimberley projects
A feature wall in Kimberley faces the same questions as anywhere in Northern Cape: damp walls, humidity in bathrooms and kitchens, and the right adhesive for heavier tiles. Local stone and tile suppliers can show real samples and deliver. Share your wall size and finish, and suppliers nearby will quote.

Slate, stone and weather in Kimberley
Kimberley is a historic diamond city with Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia, Kimberley North and around the Big Hole. Most old roofs are corrugated iron, but slate and stone appear on verandah floors, hearths, thick-walled facades and the occasional original slate roof. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings, so check before changing exteriors. The dry Karoo-edge climate brings very hot summers, frosty winter nights and sudden storms, which stress outdoor tiles and sealers. Shifting soils call for a solid bed and movement joints. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate, with larger orders and cladding delivered from Bloemfontein, Johannesburg or Cape Town.
Typical slate wall tiles requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: honed slate panels beside fireplaces and in kitchens that respect the character of the house
- Suburban homes: a slate feature wall behind the television or beside the fireplace in the family lounge
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate feature walls behind reception desks, bars, restaurant booths and hotel lobbies
- Townhouses and complexes: a compact slate feature wall or kitchen splashback that adds depth to a small space
- New builds and developments: slate wall tiles planned early so walls are flat, waterproofed and ready to tile
- Security and golf estates: full-height textured slate feature walls in entrance halls, stairwells and open-plan living rooms

What to include in your request

- Say where the wall is: lounge, kitchen, bathroom or outdoors.

- Describe the wall behind: brick, plaster, plasterboard or timber.
- Say whether you want supply only or supply and install.
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
