Proper installation techniques, such as securely anchoring the marble, using appropriate adhesives, and allowing for proper expansion and contraction, can help mitigate potential issues caused by the wind. It is important to consult with a professional architect, contractor, or marble specialist who can assess the specific conditions and requirements of your project.
