Climate
Marine humidity 70-85% year-round; seal all marble and limestone twice yearly. Mold-resistant grout under stone backsplashes near showers.
Mild winters but constant rain; choose textured/honed finishes for slip resistance on patios. Salt-air exposure within 2km of ocean — specify marine-grade sealers.
West Van/White Rock projects need salt-spray-resistant fabrication; avoid iron-rich black granites near shoreline (rust bloom risk).
