Slate, stone and weather in Gqeberha
Gqeberha, still called Port Elizabeth by many, is a windy coastal city on Algoa Bay. Suburbs such as Walmer, Summerstrand and Newton Park mix older plastered houses with newer estates, and the Victorian streets of Central carry heritage character. Slate suits entrance halls, patios and pool surrounds, while stone cladding fits wind-exposed boundary walls. Constant salt air and driving wind scour sealers, so reseal outdoor stone more often and rinse with fresh water. Winter cold fronts bring rain that finds weak flashings and wets shaded slate. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver along the coast and to Addo and Jeffreys Bay.
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
- Older and heritage homes: stone cladding chosen to match the colour and texture of existing walls and chimneys
- Security and golf estates: natural stone cladding on entrance walls and facades, with design committee approval first
- 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
