Can Mexico's Pharaoh Onyx be used exterior applications in cold climates?
Pharaoh Onyx is a type of natural stone commonly found in Mexico. While it is a beautiful and durable stone, its use in exterior applications in cold climates can present some challenges. Pharaoh Onyx is a porous stone, which means it can absorb water and moisture. In cold climates, where freeze-thaw cycles are common, the absorbed water within the stone can freeze and expand, leading to cracks and damage. This can significantly reduce the lifespan and appearance of the stone. However, if proper precautions are taken, Pharaoh Onyx can be used in exterior applications in cold climates. Some steps that can be taken include: 1. Sealing: Regularly sealing the stone with a high-quality impregnating sealer can reduce its porosity and make it more resistant to water absorption. This can help prevent freeze-thaw damage. 2. Proper installation: Ensuring the stone is properly installed with good drainage systems in place can minimize water buildup and reduce the chances of freeze-thaw damage. 3. Regular maintenance: Regularly inspecting and maintaining the stone can help identify and address any potential issues before they become major problems. This can include cleaning the stone, resealing it as needed, and repairing any cracks or damage. Its important to consult with a professional stone supplier or installer who has experience working with Pharaoh Onyx in cold climates. They can provide specific guidance on the suitability and maintenance of the stone for your particular project.
