When you stand on wood flooring or carpet the fibers and tiny air.
Marble temperature resistance.
The reason that marble feels cold is because it conducts heat differently than other surfaces.
Yes and no on the hot pans.
Granite will not melt even from direct flame applied to it.
Marble is a very dense hard stone and this makes it easier for heat to transfer from a warmer object such as the soles of your feet.
Please note the fact that melting point of granite is 2210 o to 2300 o f 1210 o to 1260 o celsius whereas you cook your steak at around 350 o to 450 o f 177 o to 232 o celsius.
Doesn t happen often but possible.
Marble 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.
Marble is the perfect stone for a number of situations and rooms in your home due to its durability especially with respect to heat.
The heat will then dissipate through the marble quickly so the marble doesn t feel any warmer.
Also extreme heat can cause thermal shock to any surface and may crack it.
You can usually put hot pans on marble without severe damage however it can discolor and all stone and stone products like quartz can experience thermal shock from extreme temperature potentially causing cracks.
Because of the way granite forms it possesses a special resistance to damage from heat.
Marble stone is an incredible natural stone material that comes with many benefits but none of them quite top its resistance to high heat.
