Slate, stone and weather in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a historic Boer War town on the Klip River, with older sandstone and brick buildings in the centre and suburbs such as Model Park. Heritage houses have thick walls, verandahs and timber floors, where slate suits stoeps, hearths and entrance halls, and local sandstone suits repair work. Owners should check heritage rules before altering older exteriors. Summers are hot with strong storms and hail, and winters bring frost, so outdoor tiles need a flexible adhesive, a solid bed and sealing. Lodges and farms towards the Drakensberg foothills use rustic slate and stone cladding. Local merchants stock basic tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Newcastle, Pietermaritzburg or Gauteng.
Typical stone cladding requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: stone cladding chosen to match the colour and texture of existing walls and chimneys
- 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
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: stone cladding on shopfronts, reception walls, restaurant exteriors and hotel entrance features
- New builds and developments: cladding planned with the builder so wall prep, damp-proofing and fixing are done correctly
- Security and golf estates: natural stone cladding on entrance walls and facades, with design committee approval first
