Heat resistance is a feature of quartz, but how heat resistant is it and what kind of damage can occur? Homeowners looking for quartz for a worn countertop want to know that quartz can hold well in a variety of kitchen and heating situations. Heat generated by boiling water can be handled by quartz countertops; however, if the temperature is too high, it can damage the quartz stone and countertop. Because of the durability of a quartz worktop, it is important to know what temperature your quartz worktop can withstand and what types of heat accumulation it should still take into account as a precaution.

Granite can tolerate some heat, but placing a hot pan on a granite worktop for more than a few seconds is not a smart move. The problem is that the heat absorbed by granite slabs from very hot pans can remain exceptionally hot for a while.

Once exposed to heat, the worktop loses its appeal and appearance, but heat damage and repairs may not be needed any time soon. If the resin melts in the quartz during polishing, it can be difficult to restore the high heat exposed quartz countertops and there may even be damage to the granite.
