In the shop, when granite slabs are being fabricated and formed into your counters, the blade cuts best if combined with running water. However, once the cut, the glue can only adhere to completely dry stone. In order to speed up the drying process, a flame torch is commonly turned onto the stone in order to dry every drop of water from the granite.
If a flame thrower does not injure the natural beauty of your stone, a hot pan can't really do any damage either!
The only situation that a flame torch might not be used to dry the water from a slab is when the slab is an engineered stone, also known as quartz. Companies that produce quartz slabs are Caesarstone, LG, Silestone, Cambria, Dal, etc. These slab surfaces are a combination of real granite and polymer glues, and the glues are the substances susceptible to burns. Because of this, quartz companies such as Cambria recommend a hot pad be placed between countertop and hot pans and crockpots.
The last instance where we have seen heat impact granite involved a black stone countertop that was exposed to direct California sun. A single slab of absolute black granite countertop covered the cabinets inside the kitchen, continued underneath a large window, and formed an outdoor bartop as well. The difference in temperature between the controlled household air and the open outdoors air, combined with a black surface absorbing the daily sun, caused the countertop to crack in many places. This situation was isolated, however, and does not represent a common occurrence in kitchens.

We've got granite counter tops at home and they're awesome! I love it how I can take a pot right off the flame and sticking it right next to everything and not having to care. It's not super good on my knives (but that's really my fault.) http://empiremarblegranite.com/
ReplyDeleteGranite requires regular maintenance. Besides just cleaning, one needs to make sure the granite is sealed periodically. Stains can be difficult to remove, but not impossible. Sealing is a regular maintenance task for granite.

I had granite countertops seattle
ReplyDeleteput new countertops, a new sink and garbage disposal, and I had a fireplace that they covered with their product. I dealt with the owner and his wife and they were very, very helpful. Their installation team was very friendly and nice. They kept everything well cleaned up as they worked and it turned out nice. Their workmanship was very good and I like the idea that it was able to cover the existing top without tearing out granite countertops seattle
