Can Portugal's Lagos Gold Limestone be used exterior applications in cold climates?
Portugals Lagos Gold Limestone, also known as Portuguese Gold Limestone, is a sedimentary stone that is commonly used for various interior and exterior applications. It has a warm golden color and a natural beauty that makes it popular for many design styles. While Lagos Gold Limestone is suitable for exterior applications, its use in cold climates requires some consideration. Limestone is a porous material, and in freezing temperatures, water can penetrate the stones pores and expand when it freezes, causing cracks or other forms of damage. To ensure the longevity and durability of Lagos Gold Limestone in cold climates, proper installation and maintenance are crucial. Here are some factors to consider: 1. Quality and density: Choose a high-quality Lagos Gold Limestone that has a dense composition. Higher density indicates lower porosity, reducing the risk of water penetration and subsequent damage due to freezing. 2. Sealing: Apply a high-quality penetrating sealer specifically designed for limestone to reduce its porosity. This will help prevent water absorption and minimize the risk of freeze-thaw damage. Regular reapplication of the sealer may be necessary over time. 3. Proper installation: Ensure that the stone is installed correctly with proper drainage systems and backer materials to avoid water accumulation behind the limestone. Properly installed stone with adequate slope and spacing can help prevent moisture-related issues. 4. Maintenance: Regular and proper maintenance is essential to keep the Lagos Gold Limestone in good condition in cold climates. This includes promptly repairing any chips, cracks, or damage that may occur and regular cleaning to prevent the buildup of dirt, debris, or moisture, which can increase the risk of damage. Overall, while Lagos Gold Limestone can be used in cold climates, it requires extra attention to installation and maintenance to ensure its durability and long-term performance. Working with experienced professionals and following proper guidelines will help mitigate potential issues associated with freezing temperatures.
