Can Portugal's White Minho Limestone be used exterior applications in very rainy climates?
Portugals White Minho Limestone can be used for exterior applications in very rainy climates, but it requires proper maintenance and care to ensure its durability and longevity.

Adequate slope and proper drainage channels can help direct water away from the stone. It is also important to note that limestone, like any other natural stone, may be susceptible to erosion over time due to the constant exposure to rain and water.
