Can Norway's Ardal Quartzite be used exterior applications in very humid climates?
While Norways Ardal Quartzite is a durable and hard natural stone, it may not be the best choice for exterior applications in very humid climates. Quartzite is known for its resistance to heat and pressure, making it suitable for various applications including countertops, flooring, and wall cladding. However, in extremely humid climates, there is a higher chance of moisture absorption and possible expansion and contraction of the stone. This can lead to the deterioration and damage of the stone over time.
It is recommended to consult with stone professionals or architects who can provide specific guidance based on the climate and conditions of the site. They can suggest alternative stone options or provide recommendations on additional treatments or sealants that can enhance the stones resistance to moisture.
