Can Canada's Gabriola Sandstone Marble be used exterior applications in very windy climates?
Gabriola Sandstone Marble is a type of sedimentary rock that is commonly used for interior applications such as countertops, flooring, and wall cladding. However, it may not be the best choice for exterior applications in very windy climates. Marble is a relatively soft and porous material compared to other natural stones like granite or quartzite. It can be prone to weathering and deterioration when exposed to harsh weather conditions, including strong winds, freezing temperatures, and constant moisture. In windy climates, the sand and debris carried by the wind can cause abrasion and wear on the surface of the marble over time. Additionally, the porosity of marble makes it susceptible to water absorption, leading to the accumulation of moisture within the stone. In freezing temperatures, this moisture can freeze and expand, causing cracks and possible structural damage to the marble. If you are considering using Gabriola Sandstone Marble for exterior applications in a very windy climate, it is advisable to consult with a stone specialist or architect who can assess the specific environmental factors and provide the best guidance. They may recommend alternative materials that are more suitable for outdoor use, such as granite or engineered stone, which are known for their durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions.
