Polished concrete dining tables are naturally heat resistant, making them ideal for busy family homes and open plan kitchen diners. This guide explains how heat resistance works, what temperatures concrete can tolerate and how to protect your table long term.

How Heat Resistance Works

Concrete is formed under heat and pressure, which gives it natural resistance to hot cookware. Professional sealers add an extra protective layer.

What Temperatures Are Safe

Hot plates, mugs and serving dishes will not damage sealed polished concrete surfaces. Extremely hot cookware placed directly from an oven can slowly degrade surface sealers over time.

Best Practice For Daily Use

Use trivets or heat pads under cookware coming directly from ovens or hobs to preserve the surface finish.

Can Heat Cause Cracking

High quality fibre reinforced microcement systems are designed to resist thermal movement and cracking.
