High Durability & Easy to Maintain
Soapstone can withstand high temperatures without scorching or cracking, making it ideal for busy kitchens. Its non-porous nature prevents liquids from penetrating, resulting in excellent stain resistance. Soapstone is unaffected by acids and alkalis, making it perfect for kitchen use where various foods and cleaning products are present.
Low Maintenance: Unlike many other natural stones, soapstone doesn’t require sealing and is easy to clean. As a natural material, soapstone is an environmentally conscious choice that doesn’t require harmful chemicals for maintenance.
Natural Appearance
Soapstone countertops typically feature a matte, honed finish that gives them a soft, natural appearance. The color palette ranges from light gray to charcoal, often displaying subtle veining patterns. Some varieties may have a slight greenish or bluish tint, adding to their unique character.
Important Things To Consider
While soapstone’s softness allows for easier fabrication, it also makes it more susceptible to scratches and nicks than harder stones like granite. However, minor scratches can often be easily buffed out, and some homeowners appreciate how this wear contributes to the stone’s character over time.
Soapstone is denser than many other countertop materials, making it heavier. This may require additional support in some kitchen installations, particularly for large surfaces or islands.
