Slate, stone and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town on the Kalahari edge, with newer face-brick houses, complexes and lodges around the camel thorn veld. Owners use slate and stone on patios, pool surrounds, carports and entrance halls, and rustic stone suits the red sand surroundings. Summers are fiercely hot, so dark slate can burn bare feet in full sun, and UV breaks down sealers fast. Cold winter nights and rare heavy storms add movement, so use flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints. Dust makes honed or sealed floors easier to keep clean. Local merchants stock basic tiles, but slate, cladding and special orders are delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
Typical tile adhesive and grout requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: bedding slate on lounge floors, kitchens and stoeps with flexible adhesive and neat grout
- Townhouses and complexes: tiling small patios, bathrooms and entrance floors with adhesive suited to a limited screed depth
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: fixing slate in farmhouse kitchens, lodge bathrooms and tasting rooms over large areas
- New builds and developments: supplying adhesive and grout in bulk for new houses as screeds cure and tiling begins
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: supplying bulk adhesive and grout for restaurant, hotel and showroom floors under heavy traffic
- Security and golf estates: fixing large-format slate floors and feature walls in modern estate homes with premium adhesive
