Marble Temperature Resistance

We certainly understand that unless meticulously cleaned and cared for marble will stain and chip and that this over time can lead to a wonderful antique look or patina and that s probably the direction we ll take it.

Marble temperature resistance.

Marble and limestone are fairly heat resistant but not as good as granite so it is possible to get some color change or slight burn damage. Also extreme heat can cause thermal shock to any surface and may crack it. Doesn t happen often but possible. Marble stone s ability to withstand high heat.

Granite will not melt even from direct flame applied to it. Please note the fact that melting point of granite is 2210 o to 2300 o f 1210 o to 1260 o celsius whereas you cook your steak at around 350 o to 450 o f 177 o to 232 o celsius. Marble stone is an incredible natural stone material that comes with many benefits but none of them quite top its resistance to high heat. We are strongly considering white marble prob calacutta for island and countertops.

The reason that marble feels cold is because it conducts heat differently than other surfaces. The heat will then dissipate through the marble quickly so the marble doesn t feel any warmer. Marble is the perfect stone for a number of situations and rooms in your home due to its durability especially with respect to heat. You can usually put hot pans on marble without severe damage however it can discolor and all stone and stone products like quartz can experience thermal shock from extreme temperature potentially causing cracks.

Because of the way granite forms it possesses a special resistance to damage from heat.
