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 removal requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: lifting tiles damaged by damp and salt air in a coastal home before re-tiling
- Older and heritage homes: removing tiles in an older home while protecting original floors, skirtings and plaster
- Suburban homes: lifting old kitchen, passage or patio tiles before a new slate floor is laid in a family home
- Security and golf estates: removing dated tiles in an estate house before modern stone finishes go in
- Townhouses and complexes: careful, low-noise tile removal in a townhouse, keeping to complex working-hour rules
- New builds and developments: taking out wrongly laid or damaged tiles in a new house so they can be redone
