Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

No, quartz can’t withstand that type of extreme heat. Quartz is heat-resistant, but hot pans will damage the resin binder and cause discoloration. In severe cases, it could even crack the quartz. Always use trivets or hot pads to keep the surface safe from damage.

Fortunately, there are many types of heatproof countertops. Granite, quartzite, concrete, and stainless steel are all fiery contenders. These surfaces work best in busy kitchens where hot pots, pans, and baking sheets are part of the daily routine. Plus, their durability means you get a long-lasting work surface that won’t flinch at a bit of heat or heavy use. However, many stone and concrete counters require a sealer, which is typically not heatproof.

You can save some money on countertops by going the DIY route, though it can be risky. Laminate is attractive for cost-conscious homeowners, as it can mimic natural materials like granite and wood. It’s also easy to install. Other inexpensive options include ceramic tile, porcelain tile, and butcher block. For serious savings, skip a full replacement and refinish the pre-existing countertop. 

Marble countertops don’t necessarily crack easily. However, they are more susceptible to damage than some other types of countertops. For example, they can develop etching from acidic liquids, such as lemon or tomato juice. Marble can also chip at the edges if you drop a heavy pan. A faux marble countertop isn’t as delicate as the real deal (depending on the material you’re painting over), but it can still get scratched if you’re not careful. Use hot pads and cutting boards to protect the countertop.

Corian tends to be slightly cheaper than granite when used in fixtures like kitchen countertops. However, the price difference is fairly negligible and largely depends on the type of granite you choose. Corian can be a budget-friendly and durable choice, plus it doesn’t require as much regular maintenance, which keeps long-term costs down.
