Can Finland's Tulikivi Blue Soapstone be used exterior applications in hot climates?
Tulikivi Blue Soapstone is a natural stone that is typically used for interior applications such as countertops, fireplaces, and flooring. While soapstone is known for its heat resistance and durability, using it for exterior applications in hot climates may not be recommended. Soapstone has a relatively low thermal conductivity, which means it can withstand high temperatures without cracking or deteriorating. However, it is still possible for the stone to expand and contract due to extreme heat and cold, especially if exposed to significant temperature fluctuations. Additionally, soapstone is a soft stone that is susceptible to scratching and weathering over time, which may be exacerbated in exterior conditions. Considering these factors, it is generally safer to use Tulikivi Blue Soapstone for interior applications rather than exterior. If you are specifically looking for a stone that can withstand hot climates for exterior use, there are other options available such as granite or travertine, which are more commonly used in outdoor settings.
