Soapstone Countertops
For the look of a gracefully aged countertop, soapstone is the natural choice.
Soapstone feels soft to the touch and was named after the soft feel of dry soap.
As a softer stone, soapstone can be carved into seamless apron front sinks.
Naturally, soapstone is highly heat resistent because it is a stone product.
In order to enhance and preserve the appearance of your soapstone countertop,
you will need to periodically oil the surface. Soapstone has a long
history in the kitchen, and is used in many historic homes as well as modern
kitchens. The color is typically a dark gray and sometimes has white
and/or green veining.
