Slate, stone and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: fixing slate in farmhouse kitchens, lodge bathrooms and tasting rooms over large areas
- 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
- New builds and developments: supplying adhesive and grout in bulk for new houses as screeds cure and tiling begins
- Older and heritage homes: re-laying slate hearths and passage floors in older homes on uneven, aged screeds
