Can Portugal's Crema do Mos Limestone be used exterior applications in very rainy climates?
Portugals Crema do Mos Limestone can generally be used for exterior applications in rainy climates, but it might require some additional maintenance. Limestone is a natural stone that is generally durable and can withstand various weather conditions. However, it is porous, which means that it can absorb water. In very rainy climates, this could potentially lead to water damage, staining, or discoloration if the stone is not properly sealed and maintained. To ensure that the limestone can withstand the rain, it is recommended to use a high-quality sealer specifically designed for limestone. This will help to protect the stone from moisture absorption and prevent potential damage. Regular resealing may be necessary, depending on the porosity of the stone and its exposure to the elements. It is also important to consider the type of finish on the limestone. A honed or textured finish may be more suitable for exterior applications as it provides better traction and is less likely to become slippery when wet. Additionally, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to keep the limestone in good condition. This includes removing any debris, dirt, or organic matter that can potentially lead to moisture retention and staining. Overall, Portugals Crema do Mos Limestone can be used for exterior applications in rainy climates, but proper sealing, maintenance, and cleaning are crucial to ensure its longevity and aesthetic appeal.
