The Timeless Soapstone. Soapstone has been a favorite for centuries. Because of Soapstone’s unique properties it has been used for counter tops longer than any other stone. It is easy to care for, and clean up after. This stone is a sturdy surface that is almost impossible to hurt. Soapstone has a beautiful matte black or matte green coloration, with stunning marble veins or no veins at all. This natural stone is very dense. It is a non-porous stone that is naturally sealed. Naturally anti-bacterial, as it will not absorb moisture. It is also mold and mildew resistant. Soapstone is chemically inert, making cleaning a snap. Impervious to staining, wine, vinegar, and lemon juice will not harm this stone. Soapstone can take heat temperatures anywhere from 2000 to 3000 degrees of heat, so it will never be a worry to place anything hot straight from the oven on to the counters.
My husband thought that I was a little crazy for going with something different and having two different hard surfaces (we have both granite and soapstone). Now he really likes it and thinks it was a good choice. We love our sink. It is easy maintenance and was built exactly how we wanted it. The office staff at Soapstone Werks was great-they always called back and were easy to talk to. When it came to installation time Greg and the boys were on time, installed quick, and careful about my flooring. My favorite thing about soapstone is that it is so easy to maintain and durable, it always looks good. Soapstone clean-up is easy; I just wipe it with my sponge and I don’t have to worry about streaking or a residue as I do with my granite. I would recommend Soapstone Werks and Soapstone to my friends. I have a friend who has honed black granite, which gives the same look but it is not as durable. She likes the look but would not put it in again.
