Question: What type of stone floor tile is most vulnerable to water damage?
Top Answer (21% of 41 votes): Sandstone.

Answer: Marble
Explanation: Among the stone tiles, marble and limestone are more vulnerable to water damage. Marble, being a softer stone, can be more easily stained and etched by acidic substances, including water with certain minerals. Limestone is also susceptible to water damage, particularly if it’s not properly sealed. Both of these stones require regular maintenance and sealing to protect against water damage and maintain their appearance. The other stone types, while also requiring sealing for water resistance, tend to be more durable against water exposure.
