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 Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene and coastal homes at Mtunzini. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain suit slate only when it is well chosen and cared for: sealed, non-slip cleft stone on patios and pool surrounds, with falls so water runs off. Mould and algae grow quickly in shade, and sandy soils shift under paving, so a firm base matters. Salt can attack weak adhesive beds, so use flexible, polymer-modified adhesive. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, while slate, cladding and special orders usually come from Durban and are delivered north.
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
- Security and golf estates: full-height textured slate feature walls in entrance halls, stairwells and open-plan living rooms
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate feature walls behind reception desks, bars, restaurant booths and hotel lobbies
