Soapstone Countertops & Vanities Add Elegance To Your Home
 Soapstone countertops are not as widely known as granite or quartz, but have many properties that make
them a viable alternative to other natural stone countertops. This naturally quarried stone is softer than most other natural minerals, but soapstone is very dense
and non-porous. Since soapstone is impenetrable, it will not stain and no liquid will permeate its surface, as can happen with marble, slate, limestone or granite. Other
stones, including granite, have a propensity to soil; this is why soapstone (steatite) is widely used in chemistry lab countertops and acid rooms.
In addition to soapstone's material characteristics, it's soft elegance gives your home or
business a distinctive look that is easy on the eye with soft tones and colors, and flowing accents marks. Choose from grays, blues or greens to match other soft tones in your home.
Combine soapstone countertops with soapstone sinks or floors and rich woods to give the room a European flair.
There are many different varieties of natural stone that can be used for custom countertops
and vanities, but soapstone countertops and vanities are different from all the rest. In addition to using soapstone in its natural color, you may choose to oil or wax the soapstone for a darker
and richer look. Each of the eight Brazilian stones that are used in making countertops and sinks has a unique color scheme and except for leathered Minas, oiling the stone enhances its original
color. Not only does the use of soapstone enhance the beauty of the your custom countertops, it is a durable stone that retains its beauty without a lot of maintenance. Because of the
versatility of soapstone, there is no "one size fits all" style or texture. Choosing what is best for your home is easy with soapstone because of the different varieties that are available. The
variety of colors and their marbling effects make it easy to find the right countertops to complement the appliances and cabinetry that are in either your kitchen or bathroom.
