Slate, stone and weather in Free State
Free State homes face cold, frosty winters and hot, stormy summers, which is hard on outdoor stone. Frost lifts poorly bedded paving and cracks tiles laid on weak screeds, so flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints matter. Hail damages roof slates and tiles across the open plains. Bloemfontein has older sandstone and Victorian-era houses, while farmhouses and guest lodges use slate and stone cladding on verandas and fireplaces. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants cluster in the larger towns, and delivery to farms and smaller towns is routine.
Typical stone cladding requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: stone cladding on the front wall, garage face and gate pillars of a family home
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: rustic stone cladding on farmhouse entrances, lodge walls, braai areas and tasting room fronts
- Older and heritage homes: stone cladding chosen to match the colour and texture of existing walls and chimneys
- 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
- Townhouses and complexes: small cladded feature areas and braai walls, subject to body corporate approval
