Can Angola's Pearl White Marble be used exterior applications in very windy climates?
While Angolas Pearl White Marble is a beautiful and durable stone, its suitability for exterior applications in very windy climates may depend on a few factors. Marble is generally considered to be a suitable material for exterior applications due to its strength and resistance to weathering. However, high wind speeds can potentially cause abrasion and erosion over time, which may affect the appearance and longevity of the marble. In very windy climates, it is advisable to consider certain factors before using Angolas Pearl White Marble for exterior applications: 1. Finish: The finish of the marble can play a crucial role in its resistance to wind abrasion. A polished finish might be more susceptible to scratches and erosion compared to a honed or textured finish, which could withstand wind damage better. 2. Installation: Proper installation techniques and expert advice from architects or stone professionals are essential. Adequate sealing, anchoring, and secure fixing methods will help enhance the durability and stability of the marble in windy conditions. 3. Maintenance: Regular maintenance, including cleaning and sealing, will help protect the stone from weather-induced damages. Periodic inspections to identify any signs of erosion or wear will ensure timely repairs or replacements. 4. Local climate conditions: Understanding the specific wind patterns, intensity, and duration in the area is crucial. If the climate is consistently windy with strong gusts, it might be prudent to explore more wind-resistant materials. Ultimately, it is recommended to consult with a local stone specialist or architect who can evaluate the specific conditions of the proposed exterior application and consider these factors to provide a more accurate assessment of using Angolas Pearl White Marble in very windy climates.
