Marble is a popular natural stone choice for fireplaces, but many homeowners are uncertain about its heat resistance and safety.

In this post, we'll explore the truth about marble's performance and suitability for heating applications in your home.

One of the primary concerns around using marble in fireplaces is its heat tolerance.

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of calcite, which can withstand temperatures up to around 800°F (425°C) before starting to deteriorate.

However, the surface temperature of a roaring fireplace can easily exceed 1,000°F (540°C), leading many to question marble's viability. - https://ultimatefireplace.com/blog/is-marble-heat-resistant-fireplace/?unique_id_nsk7g3g4
