Outdoor · Material planning guide
Facades and terraces have different requirements. Choose the material together with the construction, finish and installation system for the specific location.
This is material-selection guidance. Confirm with LAGO whether fabrication or installation for your particular facade or terrace project is available before ordering.
A facade needs an appropriate fixing system. For a terrace, assess the selected finish’s slip resistance and supporting construction too.
Check manufacturer guidance for outdoor use, sunlight and moisture. One collection’s properties do not automatically apply to every surface.
Have site photographs or a project drawing ready. Clarify the solution and the available scope of service in the discussion.
Compare appearance, everyday use and care. The choice depends on the actual slab, finish, thickness and project design.
An engineered mineral surface with recycled materials, by Cosentino
Not recommended outdoors
Appearance and use
Collection-led colours and patterns as an alternative to a natural slab. Cosentino advises against outdoor Silestone use because of UV exposure.
Care and limitations
Choose a material with manufacturer-confirmed suitability for the outdoor project.
Material guideAppearance and use
Designs inspired by stone, concrete and other surfaces. Manufacturer-documented outdoor uses require the appropriate product, finish and system.
Care and limitations
Check terrace slip resistance and facade fixings. Material properties do not approve the whole construction.
Material guideAppearance and use
Mineral grains, colour and pattern vary between slabs. Outdoor suitability depends on the specific stone data and chosen finish.
Care and limitations
The stone and project require technical assessment; not every slab is suitable.
Material guideAppearance and use
Natural veining and tonal variation unique to each slab. Desired veining alone is not enough for outdoors; assess the actual stone.
Care and limitations
Assess weathering and use with the stone supplier and project specialist.
