Soapstone Countertops

Soapstone countertops are prized for their natural warmth, smooth texture, and unique appearance. Composed primarily of talc, soapstone has a soft, almost velvety feel, and its distinctive veining and subtle color variations—typically in shades of gray, green, or black—add a rustic yet sophisticated charm to any space. Unlike other stone countertops, soapstone is non-porous, making it highly resistant to stains, bacteria, and chemicals without the need for sealing. While it is softer and more prone to scratching than granite or quartz, these scratches can be easily sanded out or can add to the stone's natural patina over time. Soapstone's heat resistance and low maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for kitchens and fireplaces, offering a timeless, understated beauty that matures gracefully.
