Can Portugal's Lagos Limestone be used exterior applications in very rainy climates?
Portugals Lagos Limestone can be used for exterior applications in very rainy climates, but it requires proper maintenance and sealing. Limestone is a natural stone that is susceptible to water damage and weathering, so it is important to protect it from excessive moisture. To ensure the durability of Lagos Limestone in a rainy climate, it is recommended to seal the stone with a high-quality water repellent sealer. This will help prevent water absorption and minimize potential damage caused by moisture. The sealer should be reapplied periodically to maintain its effectiveness. Additionally, regular cleaning and proper drainage of the area where the limestone is installed are important to prevent moisture buildup. Standing water or excessive moisture can lead to staining and the growth of algae or fungi, which can deteriorate the stones appearance and integrity. It is also worth noting that despite proper maintenance, limestone may still undergo some natural weathering and discoloration over time due to the exposure to rain and other environmental factors.
