Slate, stone and weather in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town laid out in circular suburbs, and many uniform mine-era brick houses are now being renovated. Owners replace worn lounge and passage floors with charcoal or grey slate, add slate to stoeps and braai areas, and clad garden walls and entrances in stone. Flat Free State plains bring hard winter frost, so outdoor tiles need frost-tolerant, well-sealed stone and a solid bed. Summer hail marks old tile and fibre-cement roofs, and slate-look sheets from earlier decades may contain asbestos, so have them checked before any work. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, with larger slate orders delivered from Bloemfontein.
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
- Older and heritage homes: honed slate panels beside fireplaces and in kitchens that respect the character of the house
- 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
- Security and golf estates: full-height textured slate feature walls in entrance halls, stairwells and open-plan living rooms
