Slate, stone and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the Drakensberg foothills, with older suburbs like Lennoxton and Fernwood and newer complexes. Owners use charcoal and grey slate on entrance halls and lounges, with rustic slate on patios and braai areas. The weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail to cold winters with hard frost, so outdoor stone must be dense, well sealed and laid on a solid bed with movement joints. Hail bruises roof tiles and fibre-cement slate-look sheets, and older ones may contain asbestos. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate and paving, with larger orders delivered from Gauteng or Durban.
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
- Older and heritage homes: re-laying slate hearths and passage floors in older homes on uneven, aged screeds
- 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: fixing slate in farmhouse kitchens, lodge bathrooms and tasting rooms over large areas
