Can Mexico's Mostaza Cantera be used exterior applications in cold climates?
Mostaza Cantera is a type of natural stone commonly used in Mexico for various applications, including exterior ones. However, its usage in cold climates should be approached with caution. Mostaza Cantera is known for its soft and porous nature, which makes it susceptible to weathering, staining, and damage from extreme temperature changes. In cold climates, where there are frequent freezes and thaws, water can seep into the stones pores and expand when freezing, causing the stone to crack and deteriorate over time. If you still choose to use Mostaza Cantera for exterior applications in cold climates, it is recommended to take certain precautions: 1. Seal the stone: Applying a high-quality stone sealer can help reduce its porosity and protect it from water infiltration. 2. Choose the right finish: Some finishes, such as honed or brushed, can provide a better resistance to water and temperature changes than polished finishes. 3. Regular maintenance: Periodically clean the stone and reapply a sealer to ensure its continued protection. Despite these precautions, its important to note that the durability and longevity of Mostaza Cantera in cold climates may still be limited compared to other, more resilient natural stones. It is advisable to consult with a stone professional or contractor with local expertise to assess whether Mostaza Cantera is suitable for your specific exterior application in a cold climate.
