Slate, stone and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic slate walls in farmhouse kitchens, lodge lounges and tasting rooms beside the fire
- 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
- New builds and developments: slate wall tiles planned early so walls are flat, waterproofed and ready to tile
- Older and heritage homes: honed slate panels beside fireplaces and in kitchens that respect the character of the house
