Before selecting those items of natural stone that have stronger weather fastness, for example, granite, limestone, or some high-resistance marble, the materials will resist UV rays, temperature changes, and rain erosion.
2. Skid Resistance
Selecting the anti-slip marble if you need to purchase swimming pool mosaic tiles. And more especially on Terrance, pool edge, or walkway in the garden. These are highly dangerous areas where the risk of slipping often occurs.
3. Low Water-absorption
When you want natural stone flooring for outdoor, select those stone materials which has lower water absorption. For example, the marble mosaic tiles which did water-proof surface treatment, and some granite materials. This can prevent water penetration and reduce the damage of the freeze-thaw cycle to the stone.

Selecting high-abrasion performance stone is important, no matter for natural stone mosaic wall tiles or floor tiles for the exterior areas. Especially in high-traffic areas, such as sidewalks and driveways, to ensure that long-term use is not easy to wear.
5. The Durability Of Color And Texture

Granite mosaic tiles: Because of its wear-resistant, and weather-resistant, very suitable for outdoor environments.
Limestone mosaics: suitable for warm climates, selected for treatment to improve water resistance and skid resistance.
Ceramic or glass mosaics: Specially treated ceramic and glass mosaics are also suitable for outdoor use, especially around swimming pools.
Dark color marble mosaic tiles: such as black marble, brown marble, grey marble, or dark green marble, these colors will not easily fade when exposed in natural lighting.
In conclusion, when selecting stone mosaics suitable for outdoor use, it is important to consider factors such as weather resistance, skid resistance, low water absorption and wear resistance to ensure that the selected stone can maintain its beauty and function in the external environment for a long time.
