Are stone products damaged by heat or cold?
Some natural stone products are more sensitive to heat than others. A pan with boiling water will not affect granite, for example, but a frying pan with extremely hot oil may discolor the surface. In the kitchen it is always a good idea to use a trivet or heat pad under pans or cooking dishes just removed from the stove or oven. Extreme cold usually doesn’t affect stone. In fact, many stone products are used for building exteriors, walkways and decorative purposes.
