Slate, stone and weather in Cape Town
Cape Town mixes mountain, sea and wine-country weather, so slate is used differently by suburb. Atlantic Seaboard homes face salt and wind, Southern Suburbs and Constantia have large gardens, pools and Cape Dutch houses, and Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Observatory still carry original slate or iron roofs. Winter rain and damp keep shaded stone wet, so a non-slip cleft finish, falls and sealing are important. Heritage controls apply to many older buildings. Wind-driven rain finds weak flashings and wet screeds cause efflorescence. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are plentiful across the metro, and suppliers deliver to the Peninsula, Winelands and West Coast.
Typical tile adhesive and grout requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: bedding slate on decks and pool surrounds with flexible adhesive that resists damp and salt air
- Older and heritage homes: re-laying slate hearths and passage floors in older homes on uneven, aged screeds
- Suburban homes: bedding slate on lounge floors, kitchens and stoeps with flexible adhesive and neat grout
- Security and golf estates: fixing large-format slate floors and feature walls in modern estate homes with premium adhesive
- Townhouses and complexes: tiling small patios, bathrooms and entrance floors with adhesive suited to a limited screed depth
- New builds and developments: supplying adhesive and grout in bulk for new houses as screeds cure and tiling begins
