Can Turkey's Gold Onyx be used exterior applications in very dusty climates?
Turkeys Gold Onyx can be used for exterior applications in dusty climates, but certain considerations should be taken into account. Onyx is a sedimentary rock that is formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate minerals from natural springs and underground water systems. It is softer and more porous compared to other natural stones, such as granite or marble. In dusty climates, the dust particles can settle on the surface of the onyx and get trapped in its pores. This can lead to the accumulation of dirt and make the onyx appear dull or discolored. Regular cleaning and maintenance are required to keep the onyx looking its best. To mitigate this issue, a protective sealant can be applied to the onyx to create a barrier against dust and other potential contaminants. This sealant should be reapplied periodically to ensure maximum protection. Additionally, frequent cleaning with a non-abrasive, pH-neutral cleaner is recommended to remove any dust or dirt buildup. It is also important to note that onyx is sensitive to chemical exposure and can be easily etched or stained by acidic substances. Therefore, in dusty climates with potential chemical contaminants, such as industrial emissions or pollutants, extra care should be taken to prevent contact with the onyx surface. Prompt cleaning and avoidance of acidic materials are crucial to keep the onyx in good condition. Overall, while Turkeys Gold Onyx can be used for exterior applications in dusty climates, proper cleaning, maintenance, and protection measures should be implemented to ensure its longevity and appearance.
