FAQ

Can Spain's Iber Tuff be used exterior applications in cold climates?
Spains Iber Tuff is a type of marble commonly used for interior applications such as flooring, countertops, and wall cladding. While marble can be used in some exterior applications, it may not be the most suitable option for cold climates due to its susceptibility to damage from freezing temperatures. Marble is a natural stone that can absorb water, and when exposed to freezing temperatures, the water trapped within the stone can expand, causing cracks or even complete breakage. In cold climates, the repeated freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate this process. Therefore, it is generally recommended to choose a more suitable material for exterior applications in cold climates, such as granite or certain types of engineered stone that are more resistant to temperature fluctuations. These materials have a lower water absorption rate and are less prone to damage from freezing temperatures. If you are specifically looking for a durable stone for exterior applications in cold climates, it would be advisable to consult with a local stone supplier or contractor who can recommend suitable options based on your specific requirements and climate conditions.
