Can Oman's Tropical Oro Marble be used exterior applications in very humid climates?
While Omans Tropical Oro Marble is known for its high-quality and luxurious appearance, it may not be the most suitable choice for exterior applications in very humid climates. Marble is a natural stone that is susceptible to moisture absorption, which can lead to staining, discoloration, and the growth of mold and mildew. In humid climates, the moisture in the air can penetrate the marble and cause it to deteriorate faster compared to other materials. Additionally, the constant exposure to rain, humidity, and direct sunlight can also cause the marble to fade and lose its original color over time. If you still wish to use Omans Tropical Oro Marble for external applications in a very humid climate, it is essential to seal the marble properly and maintain it regularly. Using a high-quality stone sealer can help reduce the absorption of moisture and protect the marble from humidity-related damage. However, its important to note that even with proper sealing and maintenance, the marble will require periodic resealing and may still be more susceptible to issues in these conditions compared to alternatives like granite or porcelain tiles that are more resistant to moisture. It is advisable to consult with a local stone expert or professional to determine the best material for your specific climate and ensure a long-lasting and suitable choice for your exterior application.
