Yes, artificial marble is heat resistant to some extent, but it cannot withstand high temperatures as it is made up of a mixture of marble dust, resin, and pigment. Small heating sources like coffee cups, hot pans, or pots can be placed on the surface without any harm, but direct or prolonged exposure to high heat can cause discoloration, cracking, or melting. It is recommended to use hot pads or trivets to protect the artificial marble surface from extreme heat.
