Preventing Heat Damage

Always Minimize Direct Heat Contact

DO

NOT PLACE
HOT POTS, PANS, ETC. DIRECTLY ON THE COUNTERTOP SURFACE.  Granicrete should not be exposed to direct heat exchange.  Granicrete’s scorch resistance has been tested to 500°F for oven pans and may possibly tolerate a brief moment of direct heat.  Always use heat trivets or hot pads when placing any hot object on any surface. Always use a trivet under your portable heat generating appliances such as toaster ovens, griddles, fryers, and crock pots.

Preventing Other Damage

Avoid Strong Chemicals

Strong chemicals, such as paint and nail remover may damage the finish of your Granicrete countertop. If a spill does occur, promptly flush the surface with water and fully rinse.

Avoid Cuts/  Scratches

Do not cut directly on the Granicrete countertop.  Use a quality cutting board.  Use   of coasters and placemats will reduce scratching.

All warranty and repairs, implied or explicit, are strictly between the Customer and the Installer.
