This study clarified the effect of rain on the visual effects and impressions of stone-finished facades. Wetness and rainfall due to rain were controlled by using a rain simulation device. As a result, wetness due to rain and changes in rainfall caused a large change in the appearance of stone materials. Stone materials that were lusterless and rough gave a glossy impression due to rain.In addition, stone materials that were neither rough nor luster gave a light impression when they were wet.
