Is marble tile heat resistant?
-
William on Nov 13, 2016Marble 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. Another consideration with marble countertops in this regard is that it is much softer than granite and more prone to scratching if you are setting and sliding pots and pans around. So, even though you are unlikely to experience any problem, you should still use trivets, hot pads to avoid scratchingHelpful Reply
