Can Guatemala's Mare Oscuro Marble be used exterior applications in very humid climates?
Marble is generally not recommended for exterior applications in very humid climates. Despite being a beautiful and luxurious stone, marble is porous and susceptible to staining and damage from moisture, particularly in humid environments. It can be even more of a concern in areas with high humidity, where prolonged exposure to moisture and humidity can lead to deterioration and discoloration. While specific maintenance and sealant applications can help protect the marble to some extent, it is generally recommended to choose a more durable and less porous stone like granite or porcelain for exterior applications in very humid climates. These materials are more resistant to moisture and can withstand the challenges posed by high humidity and prolonged exposure to moisture without significant damage.
