Yes. Guardian Ventures worktop surfaces are heat-resistant and are designed to withstand everyday kitchen use. Our engineered stone surfaces can tolerate temperatures of up to 140°C, making them well suited to busy family kitchens.
However, like all engineered stone materials, they can be affected by thermal shock. Thermal shock occurs when a very hot object, such as a saucepan or frying pan taken directly from the hob or oven, is placed onto a cooler worktop surface. The sudden and extreme change in temperature can cause damage to any engineered stone surface, regardless of the manufacturer.
For this reason, we always recommend using a heat trivet, pan stand or chopping board to protect your worktop from hot cookware. This simple precaution helps preserve the appearance and long-term performance of your surface.
Combined with their excellent stain resistance, durability and EverGuard™ built-in, non-porous protection, Guardian Ventures worktop surfaces are designed to provide many years of reliable, low-maintenance performance in even the busiest kitchens.
