Is Compac Quartz Heat Resistant?

Yes, it is a heat-resistant product. Nevertheless, if you place hot objects took straight from the stove or oven (frying pans, pots, casseroles, etc.) on these surfaces, they may be irreversibly damaged. Therefore it is recommendable to use mats or cloth over the quartz surface when you need to place hot objects on it. Toasters, fryers and other appliances (hobs, dishwashers, etc.) generate heat, so the surface should be protected by ensuring there is sufficient separation for ventilation so that heat can be dissipated.

Is it necessary to apply sealants on Quartz Surfaces?

No, thanks to its null porosity, no humidity can penetrate the surface, so it is not necessary to use water-repellents or sealants to protect the surface or enhance its gloss, as opposed to other natural stone like marble.
