Granite’s Heat Resistance Varies

Granite countertops are not only known for their durability but also for their ability to withstand high temperatures. It is said that they can handle up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit without any problems. However, this is not true in all cases. Granite countertops can only take a certain amount of heat before they start to crack and eventually break.

For example, a granite countertop with a thickness of 3/8 inches will only be able to take about 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Homeowners and builders alike need to know the limits of their granite countertops before proceeding with any projects such as cooking on them or even installing an oven on them.
