Can Namibia's Caribbean Island Marble be used exterior applications in very sunny climates?
Namibias Caribbean Island Marble can be used for exterior applications in very sunny climates, but it is important to consider a few factors. Marble is a natural stone that is not as durable as some other materials commonly used for exterior applications, such as granite or quartzite. In very sunny climates, marble may be more susceptible to fading or discoloration due to prolonged exposure to UV rays. This can cause the surface of the marble to lose its shine and the colors to fade over time. Additionally, marble is softer and more prone to scratches and etching, so it may require more regular maintenance and care to keep it looking its best. If you choose to use Namibias Caribbean Island Marble for an exterior application in a very sunny climate, it is recommended to apply a high-quality stone sealer specifically designed for exterior use. This can help protect the marble from UV damage and enhance its durability against weathering. It is also important to note that marble, including Namibias Caribbean Island Marble, should be properly installed by professionals who have experience working with natural stone. Proper installation techniques, including sealing the marble and using appropriate adhesives and grouts, can help ensure its longevity and performance in outdoor settings. Overall, while Namibias Caribbean Island Marble can be used for exterior applications in very sunny climates, it is important to consider its specific characteristics and take necessary precautions to protect and maintain its appearance and durability.
