Can Slate-Lite be used as a work surface in the kitchen?
It is possible to use Slate Lite as a worktop, but we only recommend it under certain conditions due to the rough surface of the stone and the extreme loads that cutting tools, hot pots / pans etc. exert on the natural stone surface.
If you use Slate-Lite as a work surface, you should impregnate the material several times with our Slate-Lite Special Protection.
Please note, however, that the
Slate-Lite Special Protection
is a food-safe impregnation and not a sealer.
The material does not get any scratch resistance through the application of the special protection.
We therefore recommend using cutting tools only in connection with a cutting board, as otherwise scratches would remain on the surface of the material. Please always use an appropriate saucer for hot pots / pans as well.
To make cleaning of the material easy we would recommand to use flat and smooth decors in that area.
