QUESTION

Suitability of Stone for Steamroom - We are interested to use light colored marble or limestone for floor and wall coverings in a TURKISH BATH (steam bath) where we will have high temperature and humidity.

We would appreciate if you could inform us what specifications of the candidate materials we have to consider as most critical for the material to have the best possible behavior in the above conditions.

What must the values of the suggested specifications be according ASTM standards?

May we consider of using marble or limestone with resin treatment? or the specified materials must be resin free?"
