Granite is one of the most heat-resistant options for kitchen countertops. This natural stone is formed underground through a process that involves high temperatures and pressures. Soapstone countertops are softer than other natural stone countertops such as quartzite and granite, but they are still chemically inert and very heat resistant. In addition, soapstone absorbs, retains, and re-radiates heat, making it an excellent choice for homes in cold climates.
Granite is one of the most heat-resistant countertop materials available today. This natural stone requires extremely high temperatures and pressures to form. You can place hot pans directly from the stove or oven on a granite countertop without any marks or stains on the surface. It resists cracks and chips, and you can place a hot pot in it without any damage.
If you apply sealant annually, granite will also resist staining. Tile countertops can also be a great option for heat resistance. They can have an artisanal or contemporary look, making them a beautiful and versatile countertop material.
