Stone Cladding for Durban projects
Weather is tough on outside walls in Durban and across KwaZulu-Natal, from summer storms and hail to frost, strong sun or salt air. Good cladding needs the right fixing, damp-proofing and sealer. Local stone suppliers and installers know what holds up nearby. Send your wall sizes and they will quote.

Slate, stone and weather in Durban
Durban is a warm, humid coastal city where slate is used on verandahs, pool decks, bathrooms and feature walls from Umhlanga and Berea to Westville. Salt air, heavy summer rain and constant humidity grow mould and algae on shaded stone, so choose a non-slip cleft finish, give outdoor areas proper falls and clean with pH-neutral products. Sealing protects against salt and stains, and moisture rising through screeds can cause white efflorescence. Flat roofs and balconies need sound waterproofing under tiles. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread across the metro, and many suppliers deliver to the South Coast, North Coast and inland hills.
Typical stone cladding requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: sealed stone cladding on outside walls and pillars that need to resist salt air
- Suburban homes: stone cladding on the front wall, garage face and gate pillars of a family home
- Security and golf estates: natural stone cladding on entrance walls and facades, with design committee approval first
- Townhouses and complexes: small cladded feature areas and braai walls, subject to body corporate approval
- New builds and developments: cladding planned with the builder so wall prep, damp-proofing and fixing are done correctly
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: stone cladding on shopfronts, reception walls, restaurant exteriors and hotel entrance features
